Disable Active Storage in Rails 5.2

Upgrading Rails to 5.2, and I found out that I must commit the storage.yml into version control. I don't plan to use ActiveStorage. Is there a way to disable it?

I ran into this migrating from Rails 5 to 6. I'm also not using active storage, had removed all references to it, and had tried the answer above overriding the require rails/all idea, yet still ran into this error.

It was actually simpler to commit an empty config/storage.yml into source. This doesn't mean you need to start using ActiveStorage anywhere in your app (to OP's original point), and will give you a more standard rails configuration, rather than worry about diverging from what require rails/all does in future updates.

For completeness, here's the boilerplate config/storage.yml you can add to address this issue.

test:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>

local:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("storage") %>

# Use rails credentials:edit to set the AWS secrets (as aws:access_key_id|secret_access_key)
# amazon:
#   service: S3
#   access_key_id: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:aws, :access_key_id) %>
#   secret_access_key: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:aws, :secret_access_key) %>
#   region: us-east-1
#   bucket: your_own_bucket

# Remember not to checkin your GCS keyfile to a repository
# google:
#   service: GCS
#   project: your_project
#   credentials: <%= Rails.root.join("path/to/gcs.keyfile") %>
#   bucket: your_own_bucket

# Use rails credentials:edit to set the Azure Storage secret (as azure_storage:storage_access_key)
# microsoft:
#   service: AzureStorage
#   storage_account_name: your_account_name
#   storage_access_key: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:azure_storage, :storage_access_key) %>
#   container: your_container_name

# mirror:
#   service: Mirror
#   primary: local
#   mirrors: [ amazon, google, microsoft ]

The only solution I've found so far is in config/application.rb, replacing:

require 'rails/all'

With:

require "rails"

# Include each railties manually, excluding `active_storage/engine`
%w(
  active_record/railtie
  action_controller/railtie
  action_view/railtie
  action_mailer/railtie
  active_job/railtie
  action_cable/engine
  rails/test_unit/railtie
  sprockets/railtie
).each do |railtie|
  begin
    require railtie
  rescue LoadError
  end
end

which is taken from Rails' source.

Remove next line from config/application.rb

require "active_storage/engine"

Remove next line from environments config/environments/*.rb

config.active_storage.service = :local

Remove next line from app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require activestorage

ActiveStorage rails routes will vanish

In case there is statement require 'rails/all' in application.rb then you can use solution provided below where you need to require dependency by dependency and to omit active_storage.

Remove lines like the following from config/environments/*.rb

config.active_storage.service = :local

Rails will then not load the yaml file.
