Issue #21154 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria). @mame I am showing a registered autoload whose `autoload?` does not return a file name. If proves the documentation is wrong. That is the point I am trying to make. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21154: Document or change Module#autoload? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21154#change-112104 * Author: fxn (Xavier Noria) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- The documentation of `Module#autoload?` says > Returns filename to be loaded if name is registered as autoload in the namespace of mod or one of its ancestors. Cool, but in the following snippet ```ruby autoload :Foo, 'foo' autoload?(:Foo) ``` the second line could evaluate to `nil`, and this does not seem to agree. I just registered an autoload, therefore (according to the documentation) I should get "foo" back in line 2. I'd like to ask for clarification from the Ruby team: 1. Is the documentation complete? Should that second line always return "foo"? 2. If the answer is no, which is the logic missing in the docs?
