Acronym won't pluralize correctly causing circular dependencies - ruby-on-rails

I would like to name my controller ESCsController, ESC being the acronym in question. I found the rails inflection docs which describe a way in which to accomplish this.
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Inflector/Inflections.html
Note: Acronyms that are passed to pluralize will no longer be recognized, since the acronym will not occur as a delimited unit in the pluralized result. To work around this, you must specify the pluralized form as an acronym as well:
acronym 'API'
camelize(pluralize('api')) #=> 'Apis'
acronym 'APIs'
camelize(pluralize('api')) #=> 'APIs'
I created my controller and models after adding this to environment.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections { |i|
i.acronym 'ESC'
i.acronym 'ESCs'
}
Tested in the console these work perfectly. 'ESC'.pluralize() returns ESCs and 'ESCs'.singularize() returns ESC as expected
Controllers and models were generated through rails generate model ESC and rails generate controller ESCs respectively. This created escs_controller.rb and the model esc.rb as expected.
In my routes.rb I used to have
resources :ESCs, path: '/parts/escs'
which returned this error: 'ESCs' is not a supported controller name. This can lead to potential routing problems. See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#specifying-a-controller-to-use
I ended up changing it to:
resources :ESCs, controller: 'escs', path: '/parts/escs'
However, now whenever I try and visit a page I get a circular dependency error:
Circular dependency detected while autoloading constant EscsController
Anyone know what's going on? It looks like whatever is trying to load the controller isn't seeing that it should be ESCsController and not EscsController. I'm new to rails so this could be a simple problem...
I'm using Rails 4.0.2
Here's the relevant part of the full stack trace.

Try moving code that adds the new inflections from environment.rb to config/initializers/inflections.rb then reload the server. Also, you don't need to specify a controller option for your route, just make it resources :escs, path: '/parts/escs' and it shall work fine.

I never saw this before. The only thing that changed in my application today: I set up a controller behind a generic route to catch routing errors that kept popping up in the prod log due to tons of lame script kiddies probing my sites, it was so annoying that I now just block every IP behind a routing error no questions asked.
I wouldn't care much about this but sometimes some very specific morons try to scrape my sites stealing my stuff so I'm mainly concerned about them coming up with something new, which would also mean I've slightly underestimated the size of their brains.
And now I am getting this error but I have no idea who tries to load what, where from, nothing relevant in the web server logs; how can I figure out what's going on?

Rails: AbstractController::Helpers::MissingHelperError - Missing helper file application_helper.rb_helper.rb

Can't find any resource that's helped me in this! When I try to 'rails s' and go to any page of the app; it shoots me this error page saying I am missing helper files.
I think it's local on my desktop machine because I recently did some work to the app on my laptop. I pushed from the laptop and app works fine on Heroku and runs local on that machine with zero problems. I added a feature to upload company logo images using Carrierwave, Mini_Magick, and Fog to Amazon S3.
Things I've tried so far: I've deleted the app and git clone it back to this machine. I've tried Brew uninstall/install imagemagick and did all the basics like bundle install, rake db:migrate after I cloned the app. Still no luck..
Here is the error codes I am getting on the page and also the full trace:
AbstractController::Helpers::MissingHelperError in PagesController#dashboard

This worked for me:
cd ~
mv sites tmpsites
mv tmpsites sites
I also did this, but am unsure if it was required:
cd /
sudo ln -s Users users
Oddly, I can't see the lowercase users symlink, but both ls /users and ls /Users work.
I solved with "spring stop" in the console.
Step-by-Step Guide:
On OSX, I had changed my username to Psy from psy. So figuring the problem out was a pain in the ass. Following these steps helped me out:
Run irb and execute this command in your project folder:
File.expand_path("./")
# => "/Users/psy/code/rails_app"
Now exit irb and run this command in your shell:
$ pwd
# => /Users/Psy/code/rails_app
Compare the two and notice the directory with the case difference, in this case it's Psy
Rename that directory to anything, and then rename it back to the original folder (use sudo only if necessary)
$ sudo mv /Users/Psy /Users/tmp
$ sudo mv /Users/tmp /Users/Psy
While the answer Zubin provided worked for me on my personal machine I just ran into the same issue on a work machine where it didn't exactly. I'd created sites as a lowercase dir:
mkdir sites
Renaming with a capital s fixed it.
mv sites Sites
I found that renaming only the sites folder worked for me just like Zubin pointed out. I did not do the sudo ln command.
mv sites sites1
mv sites1 sites
Simply moving/renaming the folder didn't work for me. I had to rename the existing folder, create a new folder with the same name, then copy everything to it. Then I deleted the old renamed folder.
For me this issue was caused because I was using GitBash on Windows, and running my tests from there. Looks like a case mismatch on what bash is expecting vs the actual folder names. Ran it from cmd and worked fine.
If you are using Windows and Powershell, this issue can occur when running rails s or rails server from a directory which has a certain capitalisation in the filesystem, but if you have changed into the directory in Powershell using a different capitalisation.
For example on my Windows filesystem my rails site is located at:
C:/Code/Personal-Website
however I ran the following commands in powershell to start my server:
C:\Users\XXX XXX> cd C:/code/personal-website
C:\code\personal-website> rails s
This case mismatch between where Powershell thinks it is starting the server versus where the server's document root actually is in the filesystem seems to cause the problem, and ensuring that your Powershell location case matches that of the directories in Windows will stop it.
I get this error while running rails s on windows powershell but not on cmd.
I sugest using a different CLI.
I got the same error as above, but it was not due to a case issue. It ended up being due to a combination of things. I had two ruby version managers installed- rvm and rbenv- and I was using an old gem installer. I had to uninstall rvm (How can I remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system?) and reinstall rbenv (brew reinstall rbenv)and upgrade to the lastest version of ruby. Then I had to update rubygems (gem update --system). Then, reinstalled all gems and a reboot and everything was fixed.
Essentially, my ruby manager was pointing to an old version of ruby and using an outdated version of the gem installer (2.2.0). You might be able to fix things with just an upgrade to rubygems.
It took me a day and a half to get this resolved. Hopefully, this will save someone some time and frustration.
I started getting the same missing helper message when running tests, even though my app ran OK in dev mode. And this started right after I had run my tests successfully, with no system changes that I was aware of. After trying the suggestion to remove uppercase filenames from my path without success, I ran rvm, in my case
rvm use ruby-2.2.0#rails4.2
bundle install
The problem went away. I suspect my system had rebooted and started using some incompatible system Ruby module. I am a beginner working my way through Michael Hartl's rails tutorial on OS X 10.10.3.
I also encountered this error. All the solutions here didn't work out and I tried different things. Here's my solution which might help others too:
In my project path there was a folder with a vowel mutation / "Umlaut" (ü, ö, ä etc.).
So I changed that and everything worked.
This isn't really a ruby or Rails bug as it is a flaw in OSX (IMHO) resulting from a design decision made many years ago to maintain compatibility with OS 8.0 (classic MacOS) and provide better compatability with Windows FAT/NTFS. That decision was to implement HFS+ with a case preserving but case insensitive naming schema wherein the following paths are equivalent:
/tmp/CASE_insensitive
/tmp/case_INSENSITIVE
You can read more about this in the following quora post:
Why does OS X choose to have a case-insensitive file system instead of a case-sensitive one?
If you've ever configured an HFS+ filesystem to enforce case insensitivity (you know, to be more compatible with actual *nix filesystems) you may very well come across software that just breaks on OSX because that software has been somewhat carelessly written to assume no case insensitivity (IIRC, some Adobe software had great trouble with HFS+ with case sensitivity).
Try this in the OSX terminal:
prompt>mkdir /tmp/CASE_insensitive
prompt>cd /tmp/case_INSENSITIVE
prompt>pwd
/tmp/case_INSENSITIVE
IMHO, that's pretty messed up. Now, if you're using Pow on your OSX system, when you create the symlink in the ~/.pow directory to point to your Rails app, be careful of the case. Mis-typing the case here will result in the error noted by the OP. Simply removing and renaming the symlink with the appropriate case will fix this properly.
I got this error from
rails g controller Name
I just deleted the controller with
rails d controller Name
Then generated it again with lowercase
rails g controller name

It appears as though, when running in development mode, the first pageload of a given page will succeed, then the second pageload will throw this uninitialized constant error, referencing the file where the constant (class) is defined...
Was working fine before in Rails 3.0.
Rails 3.1.12
JRuby 1.7.11
Erector 0.10.0
Appears to have been an issue between Rails 3.1 and the Erector gem.
For some reason or another, views named in the scheme "view_name.html.rb" aren't loaded properly after the first load. The same file named "view_name.rb" works fine.
This appears to no longer be the case upon bumping to Rails 3.2, so I assume it's a quirk in 3.1 not properly checking mime types when autoloading.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?
It is necessary to debug code.
Here Redmine loads plugin settings to class variable.
Here Redmine defines setter/geter for each setting.
And exactly your method plugin_myplugin does not appear in ##available_settings. So I think you should
check your init.rb file and check what plugin name you use.
check if any settings you define there (working example)
(if previous didn't help) debug core: check why your plugin settings don't appear in ##avaulable_settings (I think you should debug here)
This problem happened also to me.
With #gotva's answer suggestions I've been able to go deeper and I understood which was the cause for me. In my case, I've got 2 plugins:
one plugin has got its settings (registered in the standard way, i.e. calling the method settings inside Redmine::Plugin.register), and I was failing to reach its configuration page seeing the error reported in the question;
in the other plugin I was setting a given Setting (sorry for the pun) just after having registered the plugin (i.e. after the call to register).
The plugin with settings was working if I was keeping only it.
Since the Setting class loads settings when it's used for the first time, I'm pretty sure that the problem was that the plugin in which I was using Setting was getting loaded before the other: so when I declared the settings, Setting didn't load them anymore because it was been already called, leaving out the settings that I wanted to load.

YAML::load raises undefined class/module error

I’m implementing paper trail like feature in my rails app. In order to do this, I’m serializing object in YAML. I’ve got item_at_version method, which basically does YAML::load(cached_object) – this works pretty well, however, I have no idea why, sometimes it returns undefined class/module _class name_.
It works with models like Event, Conversation, Note, and many more, but without any reason, it seems to throw that error for models like Dataset, Comment, Student (I’ve tried to find any pattern for that, without any luck).
I’m using rails 3.2.8, ruby 1.9.3p327, psych as YAML Engine (Psych::Version returns 1.3.4).
Ps. When I add require 'model_name' on top of that file, it works like a charm.
Any ideas what should I change/add to get this working?
Edit:
There’s no much code which I can share:
def item_at_version
YAML::load(cached_object)
end
But maybe backtrace would be interesting:

When you use YAML.dump to serialize an object in Ruby, the class name is use as part of the Yaml tag so that the correct class can be used when loading the object. For example:
require 'yaml'
class Foo; end
puts YAML.dump Foo.new
produces
--- !ruby/object:Foo {}
When you use YAML.load on that string, Psych knows what class to instantiate for the deserialized object.
If you try to call YAML.load on a Yaml string that specifies a class that hasn’t been defined, then you will get the error:
require 'yaml'
# No Bar class has been defined
YAML.load '--- !ruby/object:Bar {}'
produces:
/Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/1.9.1/psych/visitors/to_ruby.rb:312:in `path2class': undefined class/module Bar (ArgumentError)
from /Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/1.9.1/psych/visitors/to_ruby.rb:312:in `resolve_class'
...
This is because Psych needs to create an instance of class Bar, but doesn’t have the definition of the class available. This explains why adding require 'whatever' before loading the Yaml works – now Ruby has the definition of the class loaded and so can create an instance of it (note that there is no definitive link between class name and file name in Ruby, it’s just convention).
The solution therefore is to make sure that when you’re loading any Ruby objects from Yaml you have already required any files that may contain definitions of any classes potentially in that Yaml.
Matt's Answer provides necessary details.
But when I do changes in code and then do some task, that de-serializes some data, without page load (in AJAX) then it fails with same error.
It's better to use require_dependency than require to autoload your changes.
In case of module (not tested with class) and de-serializing using YAML, you can also instantiate your Module before de-serializing with require to fix the issue. See here.

P.S: This problem persists only in Development as config.cache_classes is enable in Production.
Amending to Matt's answer. In lieu of a pure-hash based solution (which the Psych team seems to have no interest in doing), modify the header string to strip off the object classification. I did this simply with the following code.
yamltext = File.read("somefile","r")
yamltext.sub!(/^--- \!.*$/,'---')
hash = YAML.load(yamltext)
This might fail (I don't know) if the input stream consists of several documents with different object classifiers (I dont know if that's even valid).
