Post-initializer hook?

Rails
1

Is there any callback/hook for me to add some code to be called after
all initializers (config/initializers/*) are called, in Rails 2?

Or should I count on initializers being run in sort order and add one
called zzzz_after_all_initializers.rb or something?

Any advice?

config.after_initialize do
…
end

Thanks Frederick. But, documentation and googling that led me to source
suggests that the after_initialize hook is called before
config/initializers are.

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/tags/rel_2-0-0_RC1/railties/lib/initializer.rb#L340

114 after_initialize
115
116 load_application_initializers

Although I guess I’m looking at 2.0RC1 there. Not familiar enough with
navigating svn to find the latest release, is there reason to believe
this has changed?

I guess I can monkey-patch Rails::process, with the aliasing-switcharoo
trick, to first call the original Rails::process, and then call my own
really_really_after_initializers method?

Awesome, thank you, I’ll use 2.1 then, and count on the after_initialize
hook really actually being after the initializers.

Thanks for all your help, Fred.

That was changed in 2.1 (which is what I looked at before i wrote my
previous reply)

sounds reasonable if you have to.
