Config.plugin_paths << .. in environment/test.rb : ignored in Rails 2.0.2

Rails

Hi all,

I used to move test-only plugins (like mocha, …) to
/vendor/plugins-test,
and update config.plugin_paths in environment/test.rb accordingly :
file: environment/test.rb
…
config.plugin_paths << “#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins-test”
…

Problem: after upgrading a project to Rails 2.0.2 it stopped working
(test
plugins are not loaded)
Though, If I move that line to environment.rb, it works (but it defeats
the
purpose of test.rb).

Isn’t this a bug?

Rails 2.0 refactored plugin loading, and now plugin load paths are set
before the environment is setup (ie before test.rb, development.rb are
loaded).
This certainly wasn’t intentional, I’d file a ticket/post on rails-core
