Gemfiles not loaded in time for environment settings

[Farrel Lifson]

Hi all,

I have a daemon-kit (0.1.8.1) project where I've included the Mail gem in my Gemfile. In development mode I'd like it to fake sending messages so in config/development.rb I put

  ::Mail.default_options do
    deliver_method( :test )
  end

And I get the following error:

/home/farrel/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/environments/development.rb:3:in `load_environment': uninitialized constant Mail (NameError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemon-kit-0.1.8.1/lib/daemon_kit/initializer.rb:142:in `load_environment'
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemon-kit-0.1.8.1/lib/daemon_kit/initializer.rb:94:in `before_daemonize'
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemon-kit-0.1.8.1/lib/daemon_kit/initializer.rb:54:in `run'
from /home/bob/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/boot.rb:39:in `run'
from /home/bob/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/boot.rb:19:in `boot!'
from /home/bob/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/boot.rb:70
from /home/bob/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/environment.rb:7:in `require'
from /home/bob/projects/data_cleaner/green/config/environment.rb:7
from ./bin/green:6:in `require'
from ./bin/green:6

Are the bundled gems not being loaded by the time the environment files are loaded? If not is this expected and should I be doing environment specific configuration somewhere else?

Thanks
Farrel

Hi Farrel

Please create a 'pre-initializer' where you require the mail gem and
see if this solves it. I don't think bundler by default does any
requiring of the gems, it just isolates the gem environment.

I put a file in the pre-daemonize directory with "require 'mail'" but that didn't help, same error.

I then put "Bundler.require" in boot.rb right after the Bundler.setup, and everything worked. I know this probably isn't the correct way to do things but it works.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that part of the code since it came from
Bundler 0.9.26 and hasn't been changed since.

Ciao !

Just a note that in environment.rb we call

    Bundler.require :default, DaemonKit.env

which requires all the gems plus gems in any special groups (test,production). In boot.rb I only put

    Bundler.require

as DaemonKit is not initialised but then.

I'm hoping that having two Bundler.require in boot.rb and environment.rb will load everything up correctly.
