not loaded if any gems missing at startup

similar to http://rails-doc.org/rails/Rails/Initializer/load_application_initializers#95-initializers

observers and custom initializers aren't loaded if any gems are missing -

current behaviour isn't great - as it's not intuitive - and you get no warning.

here's a lighthouse ticket i created a while ago about this.
