Templates in development environment doesn't load (on Rails 3, cold start)

[mantas]

I'm using Jammit from master branch with Rails 3 application. I'm using passenger/apache for the server. Whole thing is running on a Mac in development environment.

When I open web page for the first time after rebooting apache (so it's a fresh instance), jammit gives following error:

undefined local variable or method `_router' for Jammit::Controller:Class

When I reload web page after a few seconds, it works just fine.

Hopefully this is due to this nasty little issue:

And updating to 0.5.1 will fix it for you. If not, let me know.

I tried to update to 0.5.1, but looks like it still has the same problem. Doesn't work on a cold start, but everything is ok after few moments

yup, same exact thing happens here. i actually had that yesterday and after a day's worth looking through the jammit code i figured no one yet bumped into it.

My scenario is that when i switch to production (on my development machine), i see java running every time i make a request, so everytime there is a pack operation. I think the symptom comes due to that. Because it takes about 30 sec per request in that case. This is the first time i try Jammit, and also am doing it on rails3 beta4. so it might be my fault somehow. Currently I'm aiming at just pre-caching on production and avoiding it all.

I'm also running 0.5.1. Thanks!

Are either of you still experiencing this error? Or has it been shaken out with a more recent Rails 3 beta?

Looks like it's fixed by one of the RCs.

Fantastic, thanks for keeping me in the loop.
