This issue seems also somewhat related to another I opened a while ago: #17593 ---------------------------------------- Feature #16978: Ruby should not use realpath for __FILE__ https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16978#change-92713 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) ---------------------------------------- This is the simplest test case: ~~~ $ mkdir a $ echo "puts __FILE__" > a/test.rb $ ln -s a b $ ruby -Ib -e "require 'test'" /builddir/a/test.rb ~~~ This behavior is problematic, because Ruby should not know nothing about the `a` directory. It was not instructed to use it. I should always refer to the file using the original path and do not dig into the underlying details, otherwise depending on file system setup, one might be forced to used `File.realpath` everywhere trying to use `__FILE__`. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
