On Rails::Initializer, configuration.load_once_paths is frozen but config.load_paths is not. We need to freeze them so future modifications will fail rather than do nothing mysteriously. For example, I was changing the variable on my environment/development.rb and the path I was setting was never loaded. To fix, just add the line: configuration.load_paths.freeze To railties/lib/initializer.rb, method set_autoload_paths, around line 214. So we will have: def set_autoload_paths Dependencies.load_paths = configuration.load_paths.uniq Dependencies.load_once_paths = configuration.load_once_paths.uniq extra = Dependencies.load_once_paths - Dependencies.load_paths unless extra.empty? abort <<-end_error load_once_paths must be a subset of the load_paths. Extra items in load_once_paths: #{extra * '',''} end_error end # Freeze the arrays so future modifications will fail rather than do nothing mysteriously configuration.load_paths.freeze configuration.load_once_paths.freeze end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
