Added to autoload paths but not loaded

I am using Rails 5.1.6 on AWS EC2 t2.micro.

I have a file, say lib/foo/bar.rb, where the class

class Foo::Bar
end

is defined. I added

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)

to config/application.rb, but when I check the constant Foo::Bar is loaded from rails console, it raises the uninitialized constant Foo::Bar Name error.

So, I added lines

puts "CONFIG ROOT IS #{config.root};"
puts "AUTOLOAD PATHS ARE #{config.autoload_paths};"

at the end of config/application.rb in order to see if they are correctly set, and they are right.

Then, I tried require './lib/foo/bar.rb'; Foo::Bar in rails console, and it is also OK.

The attempts at (local) docker are also good.

What is the problem? Why the constants in lib are not loaded?

Have you tried:

module Foo
  class Bar
  end
end
