uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::XmlMini::IsolatedExecutionState

Steps to reproduce

It seems like there is a bug in cocoapods but seems related to the 7.0.0rc1 version of rails, so posting here and there in case

gem install cocoapods
pod install

require File.join(
          File.dirname(`node --print "require.resolve('expo/package.json')"`),
          "scripts/autolinking"
        )
require File.join(
          File.dirname(
            `node --print "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"`
          ),
          "scripts/react_native_pods"
        )
require File.join(
          File.dirname(
            `node --print "require.resolve('@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/package.json')"`
          ),
          "native_modules"
        )

platform :ios, "12.0"

require "json"
podfile_properties =
  begin
    JSON.parse(File.read("./Podfile.properties.json"))
  rescue StandardError
    {}
  end

target "socializus" do
  use_expo_modules!

  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(
    path: config[:reactNativePath],
    hermes_enabled: podfile_properties["expo.jsEngine"] == "hermes"
  )

  use_flipper!({ "Flipper" => "0.119.0" })

  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
    react_native_post_install(installer)

    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if (target.name&.eql?("FBReactNativeSpec"))
        target.build_phases.each do |build_phase|
          if (
               build_phase.respond_to?(:name) &&
                 build_phase.name.eql?("[CP-User] Generate Specs")
             )
            target.build_phases.move(build_phase, 0)
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

target "OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension" do
  pod "OneSignal"
end

Expected behavior

Upgrades pods, works fine

Actual behavior

An error

The fix would be either for rails to add require "active_support/isolated_execution_state" in activesupport's lib/active_support/xml_mini.rb or for cocoapods to add it

I stumbled across this error when trying to do:

require "active_record/base"

class StagedJob < ActiveRecord::Base
end

This is a gem and not a Rails app, so I have to require active_record manually. It felt like a good idea to require active_record/base specifically as this is the class that I'm referencing in my code.

Unfortunately this doesn't work and throws ActiveSupport::XmlMini::IsolatedExecutionState. I'm not sure if require "active_record/base" worked before Rails 7 or not 🤔

Anyway, I changed it to:

require "active_record"

class StagedJob < ActiveRecord::Base
end

and now it works properly 🎉 That's because active_record.rb requires active_support properly.

Leaving this comment here, in case somebody finds it useful.

I just stumbled against this error again while upgrading my app to rails 7

The fix was to do:

require "active_support"
require "active_support/testing/time_helpers"

Same with require active_support/date. Staying with 6.* for now.
