Since Rails 3.0, if you want a gem to automatically behave as an engine, you have to specify an Engine for it somewhere inside your plugin's lib folder (similar to how we specify a Railtie): module MyEngine class Engine < Rails::Engine endend Configuration class MyEngine < Rails::Engine config.autoload_paths << File.expand_path("..
