Defect #33206
closedUnable to autoload constant Version.table_name if gems uses Version class
0%
Description
Introduced with r18780 Version.table_name is not available, if a gem package (like attr_encrypted) is used with a class named "Version".
At the moment this problem does not exist with Gem packages from Redmine itself, but gems from plugins.
Existing tests are broken, e.g.
bin/rails test test/unit/project_test.rb -n test_move_a_root_project_to_a_project
# Running:
E
Error:
ProjectTest#test_move_a_root_project_to_a_project:
NoMethodError: undefined method `table_name' for AttrEncrypted::Version:Module

	Similar problem was #23269. A better description of the problem with examples are here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21115567/autoloading-classes-using-class-self-in-rails
I added a patch for a more solid solution to prevent the problem. It would be great to have this change in Redmine.

    I added another version of patch, which uses Rails 5 where.not and Arel::Table. With this solution, no more table name specification is required.
Both solutions work, but second one is more cleaner - but more refactoring.

    I think the first variant should be preferred, see https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/36761
