Hi,

I’m looking to upgrade an application based on rails 1.0, and I have a  
problem with plugins working fine in development, but not in  
production or test. Actually, it happens in all environments with  
their dependency mechanism set to :load.

For example for the selenium on rails plugin, it needs the class  
SeleniumOnRailsConfig, which triggers the dependency on  
‘selenium\_on\_rails’. First, the file ‘rails/selenium\_on\_rails’ is  
searched. If cannot be loaded, it raises the exception LoadError. The  
problem I see is that only MissingSourceFile exceptions are treated in  
activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb on line 102. When  
the dependency mechanism is :load, it stops here.

When the exeption MissingSourceFile is raised (happens in development  
where the dependency mechanism is :require), it tries to use the file  
“selenium\_on\_rails”, without the “rails/” prefix and it succeeds.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Here is the svninfo from vendor/rails (where I checked out a stable  
version some time ago, and I updated it with svn update):

Hi Raph,

I just tried to install Rails 1.1.2 (on ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)  
[i386-mswin32]), created a new app and installed Selenium on Rails. It  
seems like everything is working just fine (rake test\_plugins, accessing  
/ and /selenium/).

Do you have this problem with newly created apps or just your Rails 1.0  
app?

Hope you’re able to sort it out!

Cheers,  
Jonas Bengtsson
