Hi, I'm triyng to port my plugins, from Redmine 3.4 to Redmine trunk (ver4.0, based on Rails5).
I managed to port my plugin to support Rails5, and it seems works fine under development / test environment.

But under production mode, I saw the same error.
When I try to access one of plugin's controller, error happened and the message such as "uninitialized constant xxxxxxxController” was recorded.

I personally think, it seems required files under plugin's directory are not loaded in production mode.
And also think this is because autoload definition is disabled for production mode in Rails 5 by default.

Ref. http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#autoloading-is-disabled-after-booting-in-the-production-environment

Here is my workaround and I am glad if they were helpful.

Workaround 1: Enabled autoload in production mode

     # Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be autoloadable.

     # Only load the plugins named here, in the order given (default is alphabetical).
     # :all can be used as a placeholder for all plugins not explicitly named.

Workaround 2: Add plugin's directory to eager_load_paths at lib/redmine/plugin.rb

When application boots in production then the application loads all constants found in all directories listed in eager_load_paths.

$ hg diff lib/redmine/plugin.rb

I personally prefer the second way.

The second way doesn't work for me.

Please use both ways.

I'm removing this ticket from the Changelog because it was a problem generated by the migration to Rails 5 (we did the same thing with the others tickets).
