Linux PATH has "[]" , some file can not loaded by rails ?

[daigong]

if app path has "[]", for example, My app is in "/home/daigong/[]/app_name"

My OS is Ubuntu11.10_x86_64

Rails version is 3.1

when I run script/rails s , get warning:

"
You did not specify how you would like Rails to report deprecation notices for your development environment, please set config.active_support.deprecation to :log at config/environments/development.rb
"

when I viste my site ,get error:

"
A secret is required to generate an integrity hash for cookie session data. Use config.secret_token = "some secret phrase of at least 30 characters"in config/initializers/secret_token.rb
"

but same app at path ( for example, " /home/daigong/app_name/ ") ,all is ok... no waring,no error

I think this is a path problom, if app_path has "[]" chars , some file can not loaded by rails

Same here under OS X.

Initializers and the environment file (at least) are not executed if the app is located in a directory with [] in its name.

After some investigation, it turns out that while loading config initializers, Engine uses Dir to expand path and retrieve all config files. Since Dir.glob accepts pattern, where "[" and "]" represent special globbing chars, it cannot properly expand these paths. This leads to skipping loading of config files. I'm not sure is this should be fixed or not.

It can be fixed by escaping the rails root path with some \

Here my fix tentative. I'm also not sure if it should be merged, but IHMO having this kind of strange limitations about where your rails app is installed is sad...

[daigong]

I get this problom because ours SVN PATH is like "%SVN_PATH%/System[Code]" .... I hate it...

now,I change my app path, thanks u very much

I think this will fix it:

I need to make sure the tests run, then I'll commit it. :-/
