Redmine

Hello
this is linked to the redmine up plugins.

Please see support with them. I was able to make a redmine 5 test with only the agile plugin from their store, I had to deactivate the others (they're working on updates).

Take a look at "/issues/36519" (for some reason direct link cause redmine Internal Error).

I could fix same problem by replacing require with manually created path.

# old
require 'module'

# new one
require File.expand_path('../lib/module', FILE)

Not a pretty solution, but working!

What's the file you did that modification in?

I have a similar issue with another plugin, but I got this with your change :

! Unable to load application: NameError: uninitialized constant FILE
Did you mean?  File
.../redmine-5.0.0/plugins/redmine_wiki_backlinks/init.rb:3:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant FILE (NameError)

Looks like some symbols are undefined.

Note: I am not a Ruby dev.

The change has to be made in the init.rb file for the plugin.
Note that the markup is `__FILE__` (remove ticks; otherwise markdup picks them up)

A bit more detail here. I pulled the first two examples from the redmine_wysiwyg_editor plugin's GIT repo.
It seems that a lot of plugins used to do something like this:

require_dependency 'redmine_wysiwyg_editor'

However, because of the change to Rails 6 (I think) you now need to do something like this:

require File.expand_path('lib/redmine_wysiwyg_editor', __dir__)

OR

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/lib/issues_controller_patch.rb'

I have also found that the switch to zeitwerk has broken many plugins, and even after making the above changes in the init.rb file, other changes are necessary within the plugin modules and classes.

Lots of work re-writing/updating plugins in the next little while...

I'm also having this issue after upgrade to Redmine 5.

As far as I understand, this code in plugin_loader.rb (https://github.com/redmine/redmine/blob/master/lib/redmine/plugin_loader.rb#L128) is supposed to caused the plugin's lib directory to be added to the load path, but this does not seem to work anymore.

The workaround for all plugin authors to manually update the Ruby global load path doesn't seem untenable - I have > 20 plugins installed in my Redmine, for which I have an auto update system, and getting all other authors (some haven't touched that plugin's source code in years) is going to be a problem.

My current workaround is to add

$:.unshift "#{engine_cfg.paths.path}/lib"


in line 128 of plugin_loader.rb, but this is also an ugly hack.

Hi. Looks like Rails version specific. In redmine_dark plugin that our company use I found this:

def init_redmine_dark
  require_dependency Rails.root + "plugins/redmine_dark/lib/dark_application_hooks.rb" 
end

if Rails::VERSION::MAJOR >= 6
  Rails.application.config.after_initialize do
    init_redmine_dark
  end
elsif Rails::VERSION::MAJOR >= 5
  ActiveSupport::Reloader.to_prepare do
    init_redmine_dark
  end
elsif Rails::VERSION::MAJOR >= 3
  ActionDispatch::Callbacks.to_prepare do
    init_redmine_dark
  end
else
  Dispatcher.to_prepare :redmine_tags do
    init_redmine_dark
  end
end
