Unlucky raise by rack-timeout causes missing constant

[fschwahn]

We had an unlucky raise by rack-timeout, just as ruby was requiring a file. Relevant stacktrace:

Rack::Timeout::RequestTimeoutException: Request waited 2ms, then ran for longer than 14998ms

This lead to each subsequent request which hit that code path to raise NameError: uninitialized constant ActionText::Attachments::TrixConversion::Fragment. Relevant stacktrace:

Restarting the process resolved the issue.

I'm not sure this if this is a bug in zeitwerk, bootsnap, or just something that can happen with arbitrary error raising by rack-timeout.

Action Text is not loaded by Zeitwerk, could you please open this issue in the Rails repository?

[fschwahn]

Right, sorry about that! Rails issue: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/49064

[fxn]

No prob! :)
