ApplicationController not executed in Rails 5 ?

[TechTalkJoe]

hello
 
i just got started with rails recently,

I'm trying to port code that runs with Rails 4 and Rails 4.2 to Rails 5

The application_controller.rb file doesn't seem to be executing in Rails 5, automatically, as it does in 4.2

Is there some type of config default that has changed?  Been reading the "what's new" and am not finding anything about ApplicationController

thanks in advance.

I must have had a bad rails install initially.  I re-installed, being more by-the-book this time, and the problem went away.
