Rails additional configuration in initializer

Question

I want to use additional route files in my app, so when I add

config.paths['config/routes'] = Dir[Rails.root.join('config/routes/*.rb')]

to my config/application.rb file everything is fine.

The problem occurs, when I try to place this code in my initializer:

MyApp::Application.config.paths['config/routes'] = Dir[Rails.root.join('config/routes/*.rb')]

I check it in the rails console - MyApp::Application.config.paths hold proper path, but it seems that files from config/routes won't load.

How can I resolve this problem?

I'm using Rails 3.2.6.

Not answering your question directly, but providing a different (better?) approach to what you're trying to do:
