After install on Rails 6: uninitialized constant ActionText::Engine::ApplicationController
stevenpslade opened this issue · 6 comments
Rails version: 6.0.2.1
Ruby version: 2.7.0p0
I added gem 'config'
to my Rails 6 project, ran bundle install
, and rails g config:install
. Everything appeared to install correctly.
I can start the rails server successfully but when I actually open the app in the browser this lovely error (see below) is outputted in the Rails log and also outputted on to the page.
I have reproduced this on a fresh rails app following the same steps. However, this error only happened once a before_action
was added to ApplicationController (I removed the before_action
in my original project to test but the error still appeared).

This issue does not seem to be relevant to Config gem. We are successfully running test against Rails 6 - have a look at https://github.com/rubyconfig/config/tree/master/spec/app/rails_6.0
@pkuczynski The tests you are running against Rails 6 are for API-only applications. The Rails 6 ApplicationController inherits from ActionController::API instead of ActionController::Base (https://github.com/rubyconfig/config/blob/master/spec/app/rails_6.0/app/controllers/application_controller.rb). This is likely why you are not seeing the issue appear in your tests.
As aforementioned, I reproduced this issue on a fresh Rails 6.0.2 app.
I have reproduced this on a fresh rails app following the same steps. However, this error only happened once a before_action was added to ApplicationController (I removed the before_action in my original project to test but the error still appeared).
Disabling actiontext in Rails resolves this issue. This is not ideal though, especially if I want to use actiontext in the future.
config/application.rb
# require 'rails/all'
require 'rails'
require 'active_record/railtie'
require 'active_storage/engine'
require 'action_controller/railtie'
require 'action_view/railtie'
require 'action_mailer/railtie'
require 'active_job/railtie'
require 'action_cable/engine'
require 'action_mailbox/engine'
# require 'action_text/engine'
require 'rails/test_unit/railtie'
require 'sprockets/railtie'
After disabling ActionText, Rails let me know of some errors in ApplicationController. There was a line where I had =||
instead of||=
. After fixing that syntax, my app loaded as expected.
I then added ActionText back in afterwards to see if it would load: it did! So it was in fact a simple syntax mistake in ApplicationController but for some reason I was getting an ActionText error instead the syntax error.
If there is any follow up as to why this issue may have occurred, please update this thread: rails/rails#39130
Thank you for all the investigation. That would mean that this is not relevant to config
gem, right?
I have done a final test where I removed config
gem and added back in the syntax error in ApplicationController: the error appeared.
So this issue is not relevant to the gem. Thank you for your patience!
