Hello, I wrote a [very basic plugin](https://github.com/29th/discourse-jwt-session) that adds a JWT token after a user logs in, and it’s been working fine for nearly a year. Today our forum went down because somehow the cert expired (which is curious in itself), so I tried a `./launcher app rebuild`, and the rebuild fails due to an error on the plugin.
```plaintext
I, [2022-01-27T00:16:48.616458 #1] INFO -- : > cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'
**PLUGIN FAILURE**
You are unable to build Discourse due to this error during plugin
initialization:
uninitialized constant Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider
/var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-jwt-session/lib/jwt_current_user_provider.rb:3:in `'
```
The relevant line in the plugin is just:
```ruby
class JwtCurrentUserProvider < Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider
```
I can’t imagine why this would suddenly stop working, as there don’t appear to be any relevant changes to `lib/auth/current_user_provider.rb` so that constant should very much still exist. Unless there was a change to the order in which libraries and plugins are loaded?
Commenting out the plugin in my `app.yaml` allows rebuild to complete successfully. Uncommenting it makes it fail again.
For context, we’re running on version 2.8.0beta4. Any idea what might be going on all of a sudden?

I just found this topic while looking for a solution for the same issue, and in the meanwhile I have found a solution.
The include for the class definitiion should now be within the `after_initialize` block, otherwise it does not work anymore.

I am confirming that your fix appears to be what sorted it for @wilson29thid🙂
