rails console starting in production error

Question

The following errors appears when I try to run rails console in production. (In development mode it works as expected)

bin$ RAILS_ENV=production ./rails c
/home/ubuntu/app/shared/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/activesupport-5.1.7/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:509:in `load_missing_constant': Circular dependency detected while autoloading constant AdminUser (RuntimeError)

My AdminUser contains the following:

 class AdminUser < ApplicationRecord
  devise :database_authenticatable, 
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

Answer 1

It'll be more helpful if you can post code for AdminUser

check your code (AdminUser) for circular references like

1: callback triggering the same callback (update self after update)
2: method calling the same method

Answer 2

Pluralizing all the controllers under /admin fixed this issue
