Using CodeIgniter Profiler

I'm struggling to enable the profiler in CodeIgniter. I've added it to the $libraries config array so it should be auto loaded. But I'm getting the error...

Fatal error: Call to a member function enable_profiler() on a non-object in C:\......\application\core\publiccontroller.php on line 6

My code is:

<?php
class PublicController extends CI_Controller {
    public function __construct () {
        // enable profiler for development
        if (ENVIRONMENT == 'development') {
            $this->output->enable_profiler(true);
        }
    }
}
?>

autoload.php has....

/*

|   $autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'xmlrpc');
*/

$autoload['libraries'] = array('profiler');

What am I doing wrong? I'm using CI version 2

Just as a note: this suggestion resolves similar issues in CI 1.x, it is not tested in CI 2. The problem, I suspect is that you're calling that in the constructor before the object has fully initiated itself. Can you confirm $this->load exists? What happens if you put parent::__construct(); as the first line of the constructor?
