Getting strange uninitialized constant error in 4.1.1

Detlef_R · May 9, 2014, 5:14pm

Just updated to 4.1.1, and now I get the following:

actionpack-4.1.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:204:in `class:Base’:
uninitialized constant AbstractController::Rendering (NameError)

when I either run a generator or try to start the server. This is on a
completely blank new app: rails new test_app, cd test_app, rails s.

Complete trace is here:

Anyone seen similar? Rolling back to 4.0.5 to get something done
today…

I’m getting the same error, but only when I use prototype as the default
javascript library instead of jquery. When I use jquery, I don’t get an
error.

This looks like it’s related to some strange behavior when loading
ActionView::TestCase in a non-test environment. You may want to report
the
issue on the prototype-rails issue tracker or comment on some of the
existing issues:

Conflict With ActionMailer?

While setting up actionmailer and testing it, I have been running into an error.… It appears to be caused by prototype-rails, since my example works when I use jquery. I don't know enough about the internals to track the source of the bug down. ``` UserMailer.welcome_email.deliver NoMethodError: undefined method `protected_instance_variables=' for ActionController::Base:Class from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_controller/metal/compatibility.rb:22:in `block in <module:Compatibility>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/concern.rb:117:in `class_eval' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/concern.rb:117:in `append_features' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:232:in `include' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:232:in `<class:Base>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:171:in `<module:ActionController>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:3:in `<top (required)>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_view/test_case.rb:11:in `<class:TestCase>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_view/test_case.rb:10:in `<module:ActionView>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/actionpack-3.2.1/lib/action_view/test_case.rb:8:in `<top (required)>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/prototype-rails-3.2.1/lib/prototype-rails/on_load_action_view.rb:17:in `<top (required)>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `block in require' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:234:in `block in load_dependency' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:639:in `new_constants_in' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:234:in `load_dependency' ... 23 levels... from /users/user/Documents/element/app/mailers/user_mailer.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:469:in `load' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:469:in `block in load_file' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:639:in `new_constants_in' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:468:in `load_file' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:353:in `require_or_load' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:502:in `load_missing_constant' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:192:in `block in const_missing' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:190:in `each' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:190:in `const_missing' from (irb):1 from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.2.1/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:47:in `start' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.2.1/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start' from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.2.1/lib/rails/commands.rb:41:in `<top (required)>' from script/rails:6:in `require' from script/rails:6:in `<main>'ruby-1.9.2-p0 > ```
