web-console in initializer

[beniutek]

Hello,

I have a problem setting up the gem if I want to configure it from the initializers folder.

So, when I configure the gem inside the development.rb file everything is alright

example working config:

Rails.application.configure do
  config.web_console.permissions = ENV.fetch('ALLOWED_IP', nil)
end

but when I do a similar thing in my config/initializers/web_console.rb like so:

# frozen_string_literal: true

if Rails.env.development?
  Rails.application.configure do
    config.web_console.permissions = ENV.fetch('ALLOWED_IP', nil)
  end
end

the console command is not working and the console is not appearing when an error is raised or when I manually add the console command e.g. in my controller actions.

Have you seen a problem like this before? Or do you already know that configuring the gem from config/initializers is not possible maybe?

EDIT:

After doing some console outputs it seems to me that it's just an ordering of things.

• First, it's the config/environments/development.rb that runs
• Second it's whatever is inside the web-console gem lib/web_console/railtie.rb that runs
• Third it's what's in the config/initializers/web_console.rb (This is the file where I'm trying to configure web-console in my project) that is running

However, the configuration I'm setting in the config/initializers/web_console.rb is not picked up by the gem.

Same issue here (configuration inside a redmine plugin). This is annoying because the setting is actually applied when you check the value of config.web_console.permissions.

Ok I found this workaround:

Rails.application.config.after_initialize do
  if Rails.env.development?
    WebConsole::Request.permissions = WebConsole::Permissions.new('0.0.0.0/0')
  end
end

Please allow for a better fix, e.g a method like WebConsole.reload_permissions!
