require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)

require "action_controller/railtie"
require "rails/test_unit/railtie"
require "sprockets/railtie"

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)

module ElitmusFaces
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
    # Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
    # -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.

    # Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
    # Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
    # config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

    # The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
    # config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
    # config.i18n.default_locale = :de
  end
end

I finally solved this problem, since I was not following rails convention in application.rb, I had to dig deeper to find where the problem is. It looks like the problem is caused by

 require "action_controller/railtie"

And the error it is showing is, actionview method not found. So I just replaced that line with

 require "action_view/railtie"

I got this info from https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7356

it seems that actionview is decoupled from actionpack, so i needed to add it myself.
