Why consider_all_requests_local fails with rspec config

Question

rspec-rails (2.7.0) rails (3.0.10) post: Rails 3.1 Error Catching is irrelevant for me.

Code:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base         


        

Answer 1

The logic block is defined on class level, which gets evaluated during the class load time. This is why it will not go to 'else' even if you manually set it to false at run time.

I am also curious to know what's the best way to test this. My only clue is somehow reload or re eval ActionController, similar to reload! method in rails console.
