From: brons_rubylang@... Date: 2017-01-01T14:58:22+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:78928] [Ruby trunk Feature#11547] remove top-level constant lookup Issue #11547 has been updated by Scott Bronson. The fix is even simpler than what I was picturing: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/44a2576f798b07139adde2d279e48fdbe71a0148 If it sticks, this will make a bunch of Rails autoload issues go away. Right on nobu, thanks! ---------------------------------------- Feature #11547: remove top-level constant lookup https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11547#change-62347 * Author: Corin Langosch * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- If ruby cannot find a class in the specified scope it uses the top-level constant of the same name if it exists and emits a warning: ~~~ irb(main):006:0> class Auth; end => nil irb(main):007:0> class Twitter; end => nil irb(main):008:0> Twitter::Auth (irb):8: warning: toplevel constant Auth referenced by Twitter::Auth => Auth ~~~ In some cases this is not playing nicely with rails autoloading as can be seen here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6931. Many more issues like this exist. Imo I don't see any reason why this fallback makes any sense. So I'd like to suggest to remove it completely or at least add an option to disable it. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
