Defect #7104
openAccessing core Setting.* values in a plugin's init causes the plugin's settings to not load
0%
Description
If you access a core value from Setting, such as host_name from a plugin's init.rb, then the plugin's settings will not be properly loaded.
To reproduce, create a simple plugin that does something like:
myurl = Setting.host_name
and then add in some settings
settings :default => {
'myvar' => 'myval'
}, :partial => 'settings/mysettings'
And then try to access the configure page from Administration / Plugins. You can also go in to the console and try to access Setting.plugin_#{your_plugin_name} here -- you will see it is not available. Meanwhile, all aspects of your plugin work fine, other than the settings and anything that tries to reference the settings.

Somehow discussed in the forum: http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/16587. I ended up not accessing Setting directly in my init.rb
(commit)
I admit it's annoying but don't think it's "high" priority since core functionalities are not concerned.
Plus accessing "Setting" values in init.rb may not be a good idea if you want to put your plugin in a fresh redmine install (db:migrate would fail as the table is empty IIRC).
