Console ThreadError ("thread ... tried to join itself")

Rails
1

I’m just getting started with Rails 2 and I’ve immediately hit a
problem in the console. This must be well known so perhaps someone
could just tell me the solution.

mattleopard$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.5)

app.get “photos”
=> 200

app.get “photos”
ThreadError: thread 0x1003c7368 tried to join itself

As you can see, the second app.get command in the console always
throws this error. This is on Snow Leopard. My gems are all up to
date, but perhaps there’s some gem that I need to reinstall
completely? Thx - m.

m. this is not a snow leopard issue, try running “script/console
production” and it will work. Because you need to have
config.cache_classes set to true in the environment, and development
you probably want to that turned off.

Take a look at this. Seems like it is fixed in latest release:
