If you try to use will_paginate in a Rails project that does not use ActiveRecord, for example:
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
#
-
Project is not currently using a database, so...
config.frameworks -= [ :active_record ]
end
your the server will die on startup with this error:

I don't really have a patch, because I couldn't figure out how to write a test for it. I worked around the problem by commenting out "enable_activerecord"
module WillPaginate
class << self
-
shortcut for enable_actionpack; enable_activerecord
def enable
enable_actionpack
-
enable_activerecord
end
