Hi,
Ran into something interesting while trying to use ActiveSupport::Configurable in Rails 6. It appears the OrderedHash created by ActiveSupport::Configurable is being overwritten in my development environment only.
I have a module Foo with a class Bar as follows:
module Foo
class Bar
include ActiveSupport::Configurable
def self.request_body
{
'client_id' => my_client_id,
'client_secret' => my_client_secret
}
end
end
end
and its corresponding initializer
Foo::Bar.configure do |c|
if Rails.env.production? || Rails.env.staging?
%i[my_client_id my_client_secret].each do |key|
# set for prod and staging using Rails credentials
end
elsif Rails.env.test?
%i[my_client_id my_client_secret].each do |key|
# set for test
end
else
%i[my_client_id my_client_secret].each do |key|
c[key] = '1234'
end
end
end
If I insert byebug at the end of my initializer, start the rails console and call
Foo::Bar.config #=> {:my_client_id=>"1234", :my_client_secret=>"1234"}
But when I exit byebug and reach the console prompt and run the above I get an empty hash.
I have found two “workaround” solutions. In development.rb, setting config.cache_classes to true allows the OrderedHash to be set as expected. Likewise, reverting to the classic autoloader in application.rb with config.autoloader = :classic produces the expected outcome.
I have read the docs at Autoloading and Reloading Constants (Zeitwerk Mode) — Ruby on Rails Guides but can’t quite figure out what is happening here.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you
