Using spree_i18n without spree_frontend for Spree 2.4 (implicit dependency)

[nimser]

While I don't see any mention of spree_frontend in the gemspec file, the LocaleController inherits from StoreController which is provided by the spree_frontend gem.

As a result I get a uninitialized constant Spree::StoreController (NameError) when I run the server in production. For a reason I can't grasp this is not crashing in development.

I doing solely model translations which has been moved from spree_i18n to the spree-globalize gem for Spree 3.1+. However I am using Spree 2.4 and upgrading is not an option at the moment.

Do I have any other option than requiring a (quite bulky) gem that I have no use for (spree_frontend). We use a separate frontend.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not using spree_frontend and same exception in production env. It only occurs in production because on this environment, all the files are loaded at launch. On development env, the classes are loaded when needed.

The thing I've done so far is just to fork the gem and simply remove this single controller. Works.

I'm just looking into conditionally require this controller so I can go back to the official gem.
