#2540 ✓invalid

Looks like helper :all is broken in Rails 2.3.2

Reported by Nate Wiger | April 22nd, 2009 @ 02:08 AM | in 2.x

We're running Rails 2.3.2 w/ Mongrel on Mac. On startup, it appears helper :all is ignored in application_controller.rb

The following does not work:

class ApplicationHelper < ActionController::Base
  helper :all
  # ...
end

The following does:

class ApplicationHelper < ActionController::Base
  require 'helpers/application_helper'
  include ApplicationHelper
  # ...
end

Is it possible there is some type of reflection added in Rails 2.3.2 which is breaking this?

This is Ruby 1.8.7, Rails 2.3.2 on Mac OS X

    I'm sorry, I typed that code rather than cut-and-pasting it.

    The helper :all is of course in ApplicationController

    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
      # Looks like helper :all broke in Rails 2.3.2?
      #helper :all # include all helpers, all the time
      require 'helpers/application_helper'
      include ApplicationHelper
    end
    
    

    Sorry for the confusion.

    This is invalid. Nevermind.

    It turns out an Engine supplied application_helper.rb, which was used instead of the default one.

    Interesting landmine to watch out for.
