In a few models we define ActiveRecord enums that are redefined in EE using the following pattern: enum :some_enum, { ... }.merge(EE_ENUM_VALUES) This particular approach is problematic to deal with, because it requires that we `prepend` and EE module _before_ defining the enum. This typically translates to the `prepend` being the first line in the model in EE, but this can easily lead to merge conflicts when developers add more `include` and/or `prepend` lines. As part of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8244 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8241 we are moving `prepend` to the last line in a file, reducing the chances of running into merge conflicts. This poses a bit of a problem with the pattern above, because this pattern does not allow us to move the `prepend` further down a file. To resolve this problem, we simply move the Hash value of the enum to a separate class method. This method is defined in a separate module where necessary, allowing us to use it like so: enum :failure_reasons, ::SomeModelEnums.failure_reasons The method in turn is defined in a very straightforward manner: module SomeModelEnums def self.failure_reasons { ... } end end This makes it easy for EE to add values without requiring the `prepend` to be placed before the `enum` is defined.
