Rails:freeze:gems breaks rails/info/properties

Rails
1

For some reason, running rake rails:freeze:gems breaks the default info
page at rails/info/properties.

rake unfreeze_rails fixes the problem.

Any ideas what causes this?

(I am considering freezing my app before I deploy, and now I am worried
it might break other things…)

What is it that breaks? Do you have an error from your log? And which
version of rails are you freezing?

Oh, and one other thing. The persistent gotcha with
rails/info#properties is that it’s only available for local requests.

It breaks using 1.2.3
Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.2.3
Unpacked gem: ‘activesupport-1.4.2’
Unpacked gem: ‘activerecord-1.15.3’
Unpacked gem: ‘actionpack-1.13.3’
Unpacked gem: ‘actionmailer-1.3.3’
Unpacked gem: ‘actionwebservice-1.2.3’
Unpacked gem: ‘rails-1.2.3’

I am browsing locally.

Before freeze, it works.
Immediately after freeze, it just hangs.
No error in the logs.
No bad route message.
Nothing.
Just hangs forever.
Unfreeze and everything works again.

I am going to try it on an ec2 instance to see if I can replicate it.
