Move controller to app/controllers/health_check

[Crammaman]

The rails convention for a rails engine is to have the folder structure mimic a rails applications. With rails bringing in Zeitwerk this convention is being enforced. By not having the controller under app/controllers the controller (and so the constant ActionController::Base) is getting required during initialization.

This is currently raising the deprecation warning: "Initialization autoloaded the constants ActionText::ContentHelper and ActionText::TagHelper. Being able to do this is deprecated. Autoloading during initialization is going to be an error condition in future versions of Rails."

Moving the controller into app/controllers/health_check and removing the require allows rails to autoload the controller correctly and so silences this deprecation warning.

Can we get this merged?

Minor change fixes deprecation warning. Looks good to merge :)

I'd like to test this a bit before accepting it. It's sat for a couple years now and Rails 7 introduced some changes to autoloading.

[Crammaman]

@jmarchello Fair enough, I can only really confirm that it works in the Rails 6 application I work on.

This change is also needed for Rails to use any config.action_controller values set inside an initializer.

Without this change, health_check gem loads ActionController::Base class before any initializers inside config/initializers/ run. When ActionController::Base is loaded, it copies the configuration values set in Rails.application.config.action_controller.

That is why the outcome of bin/rails app:update during a Rails upgrade process, which creates a config/initializers/*new_framework_defaults.rb file, doesn't work when health_check gem is present (without this PR). More information of this topic over at the Rails issue tracker:

Bump... please?

For what it's worth, we've been able to work around this issue by setting gem 'health_check', require: false in Gemfile and loading the health_check gem only after ActionController has been loaded via an initializer like this:

# config/initializers/health_check.rb
ActiveSupport.on_load(:action_controller) do
  require 'health_check'
  HealthCheck.setup do |config|
    # ... configuration here ...
  end
end

Thanks for this information, very helpful!
