Problem with discovering available controllers through refle

Rails
1

This code works under webrick to load and identify every controller in a
rails
app. However, it fails under mongrel. Instead it only identifies the
controller that actually called the method.

Does anyone understand why?

Thanks in advance,

code snip:

def MyModel.synchronize_with_controllers
# Load all the controller files
Find.find( RAILS_ROOT + ‘/app/controllers’ ) do |file_name|

  if /_controller.rb$/ =~ file_name
    if (@@debuglevel >= 4)
      p "Loading "+file_name
    end
    begin
      load file_name
    rescue
      logger.error("Unable to load file #{file_name}")
    end;
  end
end

all_controllers = ObjectSpace.subclasses_of( ApplicationController )

if (@@debuglevel >= 4)
  p '----------------------------'
  p "all_controllers:"
  p all_controllers;
  p '----------------------------'
end

Log from Mongrel (what’s up?):

“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/first_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/second_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/third_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/fourth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/this_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/fifth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/sixth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/seventh_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/eighth_controller.rb”
“----------------------------”
“all_controllers:”
[ThisController]
“----------------------------”

Log from Webrick (expected behavior):

“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/first_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/second_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/third_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/fourth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/this_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/fifth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/sixth_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/seventh_controller.rb”
“Loading script/…/config/…/app/controllers/eighth_controller.rb”
“----------------------------”
“all_controllers:”
[FirstController,SecondController,ThirdController,FourthController,ThisController,FifthController,SixthController,SeventhController,EighthController]
“----------------------------”

I’m afraid I can only give you the unhelpful report that it worked OK
under Mongrel when I ran it.

I’m running mongrel 1.0.1, ruby 1.8.4, rails 1.2.3 on gentoo and
ubuntu (feisty) linux.

What platform are you running on?

Mac Tiger, Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, Mongrel 1.0.1.

I bet an update to Ruby 1.8.6 is in order.

Thanks!
