[ruby-core:120119] [Ruby master Bug#20920] When loading a file, __FILE__ gets relative paths expanded only when they start with "./"

Issue #20920 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).


It's interesting that this highlights the only case where `load` searches i=
n a different path than `require`

	if path is absolute
	  load/require absolute path --> __FILE__ is absolute
	elsif path starts with "." or ".."
	  load/require relative to pwd --> __FILE__ is expanded to absolute
	else
	  load/require relative to each $LOAD_PATH --> __FILE__ is expanded to abs=
olute
	  if above not found, load (but not require) relative to pwd --> __FILE__ =
is NOT expanded to absolute
	end

$ cat foo.rb
puts __FILE__

$ ruby foo.rb             =20
foo.rb

$ ruby ./foo.rb           =20
./foo.rb

$ ruby -e 'load "foo.rb"' =20
foo.rb

$ ruby -e 'load "./foo.rb"'
/full/path/to/foo.rb
```

More than an issue, this is mainly a question. In principle, it seems more =
consistent to me to either expand or not expand, but this is not causing re=
al issues for me. I just want to figure out what to do with one pending spe=
c in Bundler (https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/cd65092deb316875982=
0c613ecbc54cd9e06d46f/bundler/spec/commands/exec_spec.rb#L1023-L1028).
