FuelPHP Forums

Hi fellow Fuelers, First time poster so please go easy on me. I have been using fuel for about 4 months now after migrating from Kohana (after migrating from CI) and am finding it absolutely awesome! Until now.. I recently started modularising my code in order to make things re-usable.
I use Tasks for scheduling which works really well but have run into a problem when trying to call a model (from a module) from inside a task. Here is my example. This class exists inside a module located at APPPATH.'modules/rt'.
The file is located at APPPATH.'modules/rt/classes/model/api.php'

namespace RT;
class Api
{
    public static function doStuff() {}
}

I now have a task defined which is located at APPPATH.'tasks/scheduler.php'

namespace Fuel\Tasks;
use Cli;

class Scheduler
{
  public function run()
  {
    $output = \RT\Api::doStuff();
  }
}

The problem is that this produces a result of

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'RT\Api' not found in /var/www/fuel/app/tasks/scheduler.php on line 40
Error - Class 'RT\Api' not found in APPPATH/tasks/scheduler.php on line 40

I have tried a number of variations including loading the module by hand from the scheduler class.

\Fuel::add_module('rt');

I know it is loading the module as changing the above line to something non-existent, produces an error of.

Error - Trying to add a non-existent module "rt2" in COREPATH/classes/fuel.php on line 433

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't an issue relating to using tasks while calling a model from a module. I know it works fine while calling the same routine from the main app directory and not as a module. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
