Subject: [ruby-core:46196] [ruby-trunk - Bug #4487] require_relative fails in an eval'ed file


Issue #4487 has been updated by LTe (Piotr Nie��acny).


=begin
If in irb we can execute

(({load("file.rb")}))

why we can't

(({require_relative("file")}))

Ruby just return exception (LoadError: cannot infer basepath). Unfortunately, this is a 'lie' because ruby can recognize basepath.

Hello all.
 
 $cat eval_me1.rb
 eval(File.read('eval_me2.rb'), binding, File.expand_path('./eval_me2.rb'))
 $cat eval_me2.rb
 require_relative 'eval_me1.rb'
 $ ruby eval_me1.rb
 C:/dev/ruby/faster_require/spec/eval_me2.rb:1:in `require_relative': cannot infer basepath (LoadError)
        from C:/dev/ruby/faster_require/spec/eval_me2.rb:1:in `<main>'
        from eval_me1.rb:1:in `eval'
        from eval_me1.rb:1:in `<main>'

I suppose was assuming that if eval included a filename, then require_relative would work from within it. Perhaps I am mistaken?
Thanks!
