Circular dependency detected while autoloading constant

[taromurao]

I got "Circular dependency detected while autoloading constant".

I removed config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/api/*"] from application.rbthen it started to work again.

If anybody else had the same issue, it makes sense to update the README.md.

I am using Rails 4.0.1.

I'm having the same issue but do not have that file on my application.rb.
what do you think the problem could be?
I am using Rails 4.0.0.

I just re-typed my helper module and it started working may be it was a syntax error

[slickpk]

which helper was it?

+1. Same bug after updating to 4.1 from 4.0

[artem-russkikh]

Rails 4.1.1, Grape 0.8.0
My API class - TwitterAPI
I got that error after edit file from api/ folder
I changed this

ActiveSupport::Dependencies.explicitly_unloadable_constants << "TwitterAPI"

to this:

ActiveSupport::Dependencies.explicitly_unloadable_constants << "AppName::TwitterAPI"

where AppName - application module from application.rb, and now its OK

I just ran into the same issue locally after upgrading to Rails 4.
I removed the Rails 3.x hack to reload the API and apply changes and it works fine again.

I don't think this is a grape issue per-se, so I am going to close. We definitely need to improve the reloading instructions documentation, which is #658 which would be nice if someone could please finish.
