Hi I've been running into some weird behavior with our engine app. Latest Rails, latest Engines plugin. When turning config.reload_plugins = true, the first request to our application runs fine, then we get an error, "stack trace too deep". The error is always coming from an asset tag helper. I looked at the code for "module Engines::RailsExtensions:: AssetHelpers" and found that alias_method_chain is at work for providing module method overrides. When I remove the Engines AssetHelpers methods (comment them out) -- the error goes away, of course our asset href's are all incorrect (no plugin name), but this led me to an experiment that solved the problem. Instead of using alias_method_chain, why not just define the regular ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper methods, then call "super"? Obviously the way that the methods are mixed into ActionView would need to change, but this does the trick right here:
ActionView::Base.class_eval do include Engines::RailsExtensions::AssetHelpers end My entire fix can be found here: http://gist.github.com/325296 I know there are a few more places that Rails includes ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper, but not more than 3 or 4. James, can I provide a "real" patch if you find this an acceptable solution? Matt
