Subject: [ruby-core:65505] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9112] Make module lookup more dynamic (Including modules into a module after it has already been included)

Issue #9112 has been updated by Timur Duehr.


Are you just looking for the following test to pass then for 2?

~~~
  def test_simple_include
    obj = Object.new
    class << obj
      class A; def foo; 1; end; end
      module B; end
      class C < A; include B; def bar; foo; end; end
      $test_simple_include1 = C.new.bar

      module X; def foo; 2; end; end
      module B; include X; end
      $test_simple_include2 = C.new.bar
      module X; def foo; 3; end; end
      $test_simple_include3 = C.new.bar

      module B; def foo; 4; end; end
      $test_simple_include4 = C.new.bar
    end

    assert_equal(1, $test_simple_include1)
    assert_equal(2, $test_simple_include2)
    assert_equal(3, $test_simple_include3)
    assert_equal(4, $test_simple_include4)
  end

Feature #9112: Make module lookup more dynamic (Including modules into a module after it has already been included)

----------------------------------------
If a module (M) is included into a class (C) and afterwards another module (M2) is included into the first module (M) then C does not include M2 and instances do not respond to methods defined in M2. I think instances of C should respond to methods defined in M2 and C should include M2.

I created a gist detailing the problem I have: https://gist.github.com/PragTob/7472643

I think this behavior is confusing, because if I'd reopen module M and just add methods there then instances of C can call those methods. However if I include another module in M then instances of C can not call those methods.

Any opinions on if this would be a better behavior or why it isn't?

(was unsure to file it as a bug or feature)
