Simple question, but somehow the answer escapes me.
In moving to Rails 6 with Zeitwerk, I get:
Please, check the "Autoloading and Reloading Constants" guide for solutions.
(called from <top (required)> at APP_ROOT/config/environment.rb:7)
rails aborted!
Zeitwerk::NameError: wrong constant name Enforce-calls-to-come-from-aws inferred by Module from directory
APP_ROOT/app/junkyard/enforce-calls-to-come-from-aws
Possible ways to address this:
* Tell Zeitwerk to ignore this particular directory.
* Tell Zeitwerk to ignore one of its parent directories.
* Rename the directory to comply with the naming conventions.
Which seems great: that's a junk folder and should never be loaded, so ignoring it makes perfect sense.
The Zeitwerk docs at https://github.com/fxn/zeitwerk say
tests = "#{__dir__}/**/*_test.rb"
loader.ignore(tests)
loader.setup
is how you ignore a folder. Fair enough. But how do I find loader
? The Rails guide on Zeitwerk autoloading (https://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html) doesn't mention how to ignore folders directly, but does mention the autoloader stashed at Rails.autoloaders.main
, so I figured that
Rails.autoloaders.main.ignore("#{__dir__}/junkyard/**/*.rb")
or
Rails.autoloaders.main.ignore("#{__dir__}/app/junkyard/**/*.rb")
would be the way to go. No luck. I've tried putting this in application.rb
and in initializers/zeitwerk.rb
and neither worked.
Any ideas where and how to ignore a folder with Zeitwerk within Rails?
PS: yes, I know I should just remove this from app
, and I will. But the question still vexes.
I ran into this same issue, and it turns out it was complaining about a folder name.
Adding this to application.rb
may work for you:
Rails.autoloaders.main.ignore(Rails.root.join('app/junkyard'))
I added this to config/initializers/zeitwerk.rb
:
Rails.autoloaders.each do |autoloader|
autoloader.ignore(Rails.root.join('app/ui'))
...
