Hey guys,

When testing a gem that adds a folder to `config.assets.paths`, I get an error that `assets` is not defined. It works on any version less than 5.0 but I couldn't find any code that changed since then that would affect:

      initializer "my_gem.add_assets_path", after: :engines_blank_point, group: :all do |app|
        app.config.assets.paths << app.config.my_gem.output_path
      end

I also don't know why `engines_blank_point` was originally chosen, but I tried changing it to a few different things and still had no luck. I have `require rails` and `require rails/railtie` at the top, so maybe something was moved out of them that is causing my problem, but I couldn't find more information looking at the code. I also asked this question on StackOverflow, but I think it's too specific to receive much attention there.


Thanks,
Tom
