Maaaaaaaaaaaaajor sanity check needed.
I wrote a simple little plugin, and it wouldn''t load. I put some
comments
in it''s init.rb, and it didn''t even spit those out. So, I dug
into the
initializer.rb (/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb) to see wtf is
going on, and found the problem... but... can''t explain it. Here is
the
code in question:
lib_path = File.join(directory, ''lib'')
init_path = File.join(directory, ''init.rb'')
has_lib = File.directory?(lib_path)
#raise LoadError, "Dude, this path is ok: " + has_lib#
=>
public/../config/../vendor/plugins/my_plugin/init.rb
has_init = File.file?(init_path)
#raise LoadError, "WTF !...." + has_init.to_s#
=>
False !!!!!!!!!
I''ve loaded the same situation up in IRB, and it works fine. Why is
File.file?(init_path) returning false !?
Permissions are fine, the path is fine:
public/../config/../vendor/plugins/my_plugin/init.rb.
I''m losing my mind.

So, I was able to hack this to work when I "hardcode" my absolute path
in
here... however, that is obviously the biggest hack ever.
Problem is, the path it''s getting from #{RAILS_ROOT} is a relative
path, and
when it''s being applied within the context of the initializer.rb
directory
(which is actually in the /vendor/ directory), it''s not a valid URL
anymore.
So, it looks as if you''re running Edge, and want plugins to work, your
out
of luck.
Am I crazy ?

Dylan... don''t know if this will help you here or not, but I was commenting on the strange relative path that RAILS_ROOT produces and Kris Leech pointed out that one can do "File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT)" to get the full path. b Dylan Stamat wrote:> So, I was able to hack this to work when I "hardcode" my absolute path > in here... however, that is obviously the biggest hack ever. > > Problem is, the path it''s getting from #{RAILS_ROOT} is a relative path, > and when it''s being applied within the context of the initializer.rb > directory (which is actually in the /vendor/ directory), it''s not a > valid URL anymore. > > So, it looks as if you''re running Edge, and want plugins to work, your > out of luck. > Am I crazy ? > > > > On 2/24/06, *Dylan Stamat* <dylans@gmail.com <mailto:dylans@gmail.com>> > wrote: > > I''m running Edge. > > > > On 2/24/06, *Steve Longdo* < steve.longdo@gmail.com > <mailto:steve.longdo@gmail.com>> wrote: > > What version of rails are you running?

Thanks a bunch Ben. I just did a little test, and think I may have a possible bug in hand... but not sure. Here is what I did: =============================1) rails -v (rails 1.0.0) 2) rails test (in my home dir, now ive got /home/dylan/test/) 3) create plugin: (/home/dylan/test/vendor/plugins/custom/lib/custom.rb and /home/dylan/test/vendor/plugins/custom/lib/init.rb) 4) rake freeze_edge 5) put debug in: (/home/dylan/test/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb ... line 311: "raise LoadError, init_path") 6) output: "public/../config/../vendor/plugins/custom/init.rb" 7) put debug in: (/home/dylan/test/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb ... line 312: "raise LoadError, has_init.to_s") 8) output: "false" ============================= So, normal 1.0.0 install, froze edge, threw a valid plugin in /vendor/plugins, and initializer.rb can''t pick it up due to an invalid URL. Do I have a point here, or am I doing something wrong ?
