Railtie not loading

[p8]

I've added Falcon to the Rails TechEmpower benchmark: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/9339

I had to set the isolation_level to :fiber by hand to make it work. https://github.com/p8/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/f7822a3d79689164e372fba05be4ee744b1f42a4/frameworks/Ruby/rails/config/application.rb#L55

Otherwise the following error would occur:

$ ./tfb --test rails-falcon --mode verify
...

I wonder if it's load order dependent?

https://github.com/socketry/falcon/blob/main/lib/falcon.rb#L10

[p8]

Yes, it could be that Rails isn't loaded there yet.

I wonder what the best strategy would be, e.g.

begin
  require 'railtie'
  ...
rescue LoadError 
  # Ignore
end
