ActionController::Base.class_eval clobbers config.action_view value

Reported by Steve Price | December 31st, 2010 @ 11:19 PM

Calling ActionController::Base.class_eval clobbers the value of
Foobar::Application.config.action_view.

% rails new foobar > /dev/null
% cd foobar
% rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.3)
ruby-1.9.2-p136 > Foobar::Application.config.action_view
 => {:stylesheet_expansions=>{}, :javascript_expansions=>{:defaults=>["prototype", "effects", "dragdrop", "controls", "rails"]}, :debug_rjs=>true} 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 > ActionController::Base.class_eval {}
 => nil 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 > Foobar::Application.config.action_view
 => {:debug_rjs=>true} 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 > quit
%

Below is a script that highlights one potential source for
the issue.

require 'rubygems'
gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
require 'rails/all'

module Rails
  module Initializable
    class Initializer
      def run(*args)
        # remove the next line to see action_view get clobbered
        return if :add_view_paths == @name
        @context.instance_exec(*args, &block)
      end
    end
  end
end
module Foobar; class Application < Rails::Application; end; end

Foobar::Application.initialize!
puts Foobar::Application.config.action_view
ActionController::Base.class_eval {}
puts Foobar::Application.config.action_view
