Rails losing inheritance of Application controller-CodePudding

After conducting a set of changes to migration, dropping, re-creating and, migrating and loading data, while Unit test are running and passing as expected, controller tests have stopped running and fail because of:

uninitialized constant ApplicationController (NameError)

class MunicipalsController < ApplicationController

It is as if the application see the app/controllers/application_controller.rb file - which was unaltered by the changes -

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include UniversalMethods

as having a different name. Possible corruption?

What can be done to get the process running anew?

Note: the application is running as expected, based on preliminary observations...

Try closing all your workers and stopping spring with spring stop. If that doesn't work, you can try restarting your terminal.
