I totally support this. And there is more to this #16978 ---------------------------------------- Bug #17885: require_relative and require should be compatible with each other when symlinked files are used https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17885#change-92154 * Author: john_firebaugh (John Firebaugh) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 2.6.6p146 (2020-03-31 revision 67876) [x86_64-darwin19] * Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This is similar to #10222 (which was fixed), but it's with symlinked files. #10222 was with symlinked directories. If files are symlinked, then mixing `require` and `require_relative` can result in the same file being loaded twice. ``` mkdir a echo "require_relative 'b'" > a/a.rb echo "p 'b loaded'" > a/b.rb mkdir b ln -s ../a/a.rb b ln -s ../a/b.rb b echo "$: << File.expand_path('../b', __FILE__); require 'b'; require 'a'" > c.rb ruby c.rb ``` Expected behavior is that this prints "b loaded" once. Actual behavior is that it prints "b loaded" twice. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
