This is weird and might not be an issue with the plugin itself. When I do a rebuild on a clean install of Discourse adding my plugin, I get the following error

```plaintext
Caused by:

```

Note the first two lines:

```
NameError: uninitialized constant Plugin::Instance::Emoji
/var/www/discourse/lib/plugin/instance.rb:482:in `register_emoji'

```

@j.jaffeux, any ideas why it can’t find the constant? It seems to be looking within the wrong namespace.
