Error while starting server with Rails 5.2.0.rc1

This is the culprit, replacing JSON with ActiveRecord::Coders::JSON fixes the issue. I will submit a PR to Rails.

It has been merged into the 5-2-stable branch. You can switch rails to this branch in your Gemfile to get the fix, or wait for the next Rails 5.2 version to be released.

Looks like Rails is grabbing the wrong constant - not in Representable's hand. Maybe dig into the yaml_column code?

[unrooty]

This is the code of yaml_column.rb 'load' method:

def load(yaml)
return object_class.new if object_class != Object && yaml.nil?
return yaml unless yaml.is_a?(String) && /^---/.match?(yaml)
obj = YAML.load(yaml)
assert_valid_value(obj, action: "load")
obj ||= object_class.new if object_class != Object
obj
end

I think it tries to create an instance of module and throws exception while this process. But I don't understand why it tries to create instance of JSON module in yaml_column.

Yepp, must be somewhere further up the stack. Is Rails maybe looking for constants that equal JSON or something nasty like that? 🤔

[renchap]

Could it be here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activestorage/app/models/active_storage/blob.rb#L22 ? This is the first use of JSON when going up the stack.
