Just updated to 2.3.0 RC1 and I’m finding that my sweepers are
throwing NameErrors (uninitialized constant
ActionController::Caching::Sweeper) when evaluation reaches lines like
this one:
class PostSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
This only happens in the development environment, because that’s the
only environment where I have “cache_classes” set to false. Relevant
stack trace is:
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:440:in

41:in each' vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/caching/sweeping.rb: 41:incache_sweeper’

I can get rid of the error by manually adding the following at the top
of the sweeper file:
require ‘rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/caching/sweeping’
But that’s really bizarre, because I can see from the stack trace that
that file has already been evaluated!
Any idea what’s going on here? I created a fresh Rails app and tried
to make a minimal test case but wasn’t able to reproduce, so there’s
something subtle going on.
Cheers,
