Upgrading 2.2 to 2.3: console broken, "uninitialized constant Module::ActiveSupport"

Rails

Upgrading a Rails app from 2.2 to 2.3.2 (via 2.3.0). Got things
working in the browser, but script/console seems messed up in both
2.3.0 and 2.3.2:

$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2)
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/initializer.rb:56:in
env':NameError: uninitialized constant Module::ActiveSupport /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/ testing/deprecation.rb:49:NoMethodError: undefined methodalias_method_chain’ for Test::Unit::Error:Class
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/console_with_helpers.rb:
5:NameError: uninitialized constant ApplicationController

Rails.version
=> “2.3.2”

ApplicationController
NameError: uninitialized constant ApplicationController

Any ideas?

Poked around more. Turns out the culprit was using “10.years” inside
environment (setting config.action_controller.session[:expire_after]).

I can reproduce the issue by generating a new app and adding ‘puts
10.years’ to environment.rb (e.g. after config.time_zone).

One fix is to not use it there. Another is to explicitly require
‘active_support’. Tried with Rails 2.2.2 and saw similar issues; in
upgrading to 2.3, :session_expires (which takes a Time) changed
to :expire_after (which takes an interval), so I had not noticed it
before.
