Ruby on Rails

I have some class attributes that I'm setting in an ActiveSupport::Concern and would like to hook into class_attribute setters, but is really isn't acting like I would assume.

Here's what I did to test. I didn't create a different controller, because just wanted to try to do as little as possible to test this similarly to how I'm doing in my gem in a clean environment.

rails new spike
created new .rvmrc in the spike dir so would autocreate its own gemset and use ruby 1.9.3 (using 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin11.4.0]).
cd spike
rm public/index.html
rails g controller home index
edit config/routes.rb to look like this:

Spike::Application.routes.draw do
  get "home/index"
  root :to => 'home#index'
end

Added this to app/controllers/my_spike.rb:

module MySpike      
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    puts 'included called'
    class_attribute :foobar, instance_writer: true
  end

  module ClassMethods
    def implement_some_methods(options = {})
      puts 'implement_some_methods called'
      include SomeMethods
    end

    def foobar=(val)
      puts 'class method foobar= called'
      super
    end
  end
 
  module SomeMethods

    def foobar=(val)
      puts 'instance method foobar= called'
      super
    end

    def initialize
      puts 'initialize called'
      self.foobar = 'foo'
      puts "self.foobar=#{self.foobar}"
      self.class.foobar = 'bar'
      puts "self.class.foobar=#{self.class.foobar}"
    end

    def index
      puts 'index called'
    end
  end
end

And then put this into app/controllers/application_controller.rb:

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  include MySpike
  implement_some_methods
 
  def index
  end
end

So when I do:
rails s

and browse/curl to http://localhost:3000, I do not see either of my attempts to be called in the console:

$ rails s

Thanks in advance!
