config.action_controller.include_all_helpers = false NEW

rubyonrails-talk

after using it config.action_controller.include_all_helpers = false

when trying to run any ApplicationController method like (testing)

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base ..   def checking     debugger   end

running in console sc => Debugger enabled Loading development environment (Rails 3.1.0.rc5) ruby-1.9.2-p290 :001 > checking NameError: undefined local variable or method `checking' for main:Object

what's new about it ... ? none of the ApplicationController can be run ...

If I understand correctly then it appears you are trying to call an ApplicationController method from the console. ApplicationController methods can only be called from the context of a controller (if that is the right way of putting it). Otherwise it does not have a controller to call the method on.

Also I do not understand the significance of include_all_helpers in this.
