Adding custom github webhook getting "NameError: uninitialized constant Handlers"

[stairsj]

Hello,

Newbie Ruby developer, I am trying to add a custom github webhook listener to shipit. I have modified by environments/development.rb and added the following lines

Shipit::Webhooks.register_handler('issue_comment') do |params| puts "Webhook Calling issue_comment" end

I end up with the following error message on start

rake aborted! NameError: uninitialized constant Handlers /usr/local/bundle/gems/shipit-engine-0.31.0/app/models/shipit/webhooks.rb:6:indefault_handlers'

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, this happens because the register happens too early in the application initialization cycle. To fix this the register_handler should be in a to_prepare callback:

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#initialization-events

The README.md isn't clear enough on this though, it should be improved.
