Can't access users in console while using Rolify

Question

I am making a Rails app that uses the Rolify gem with Devise and CanCan.

Running the rolify generators like this

rails g rolify:role

put the rolify method at the top of the Users model like so

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  rolify

In addition to creating the Role.rb model.

   class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
     has_and_belongs_to_many :users, :join_table => :users_roles
     belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true

     scopify

   end

I haven't done anything else with rolify yet. When I try to load the Users in rails console, however, I get the following error.

>> User.all
NameError: undefined local variable or method `rolify' for #<Class:0x007f813d32ce48>

I'm using Rails 3.2.12

Ruby Version

    ruby -v
    ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]

I assume this is not expected behavior. Can anyone suggest a solution. It would not be worth it for me to use rolify if I can't access the User model in the console.

Tomoko, try adding extend Rolify before rolify, like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  extend Rolify
  rolify
end
