To be more specific, this assertion fails on MRI: >assert_equal("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/autoloaded.rb", Object.autoload?("Autoloaded")) Because the previous const_defined? call has already triggered the autoload. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10741: const_defined? triggers autoload where it did not before https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10741#change-51013 * Author: Charles Nutter * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: 2.0.0 * Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This should not cause b.rb to load, but it does in 2.2: ~/projects/jruby $ cat a.rb module Foo autoload :Bar, 'b.rb' end p Foo.const_defined?('Bar') ~/projects/jruby $ cat b.rb puts "in b" module Foo Bar = 1 end ~/projects/jruby $ rvm ruby-2.0 do ruby -I. a.rb true ~/projects/jruby $ rvm ruby-2.1 do ruby -I. a.rb in b true ~/projects/jruby $ rvm ruby-2.2 do ruby -I. a.rb in b true This is likely caused by the :: support in const_get/const_defined not doing autoload-free traversal. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
