Rails 5.2 autoload is not working in development

I have a project on Rails 5.2 with the following structure:

oauth_controller.rb

require_relative "./oauth.rb"

module Auth
  class OauthController < Infra::BaseController
    include ActionController::Cookies

    def start
      oauth = Auth::OAuth.new(session: session)
      ...
    end

    def callback
      oauth = Auth::OAuth.new(session: session)
      ...
    end
  end
end

oauth.rb

module Auth
  class OAuth
    ...
  end
end

To have the Auth::Oauth working I have to require the oauth.rb file, so I think the eager loading or autoload are not working. But, even with the require(), when I change the file, I get this error again and I have to restart the server again and again.

uninitialized constant Auth::OAuth

Here is my application.rb

config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Cookies
config.api_only = false
config.eager_load_paths += %W(#{config.root}/app)
config.time_zone = 'Etc/UTC'
config.reload_controllers = !Rails.env.production?

The development.rb was not changed.

It's because of naming convention rails expects. Rails is expecting a file name o_auth.rb to match OAuth. You need to add an infection to support OAuth as oauth.rb

In config/initializers/inflections.rb add

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
  inflect.acronym 'OAuth'
end

OR you need to change your file name to o_auth.rb

In both cases you do not need require_relative "./oauth.rb"

In addition, if this is a controller it should live in app/controllers/auth/o_auth and not directly in app/

In addition to the other answer, the folders under app are not interpreted as modules and are for organization only. So app/auth/oauth.rb Should look like 

class Oauth

Not 

module Auth
  class Oauth
