From: Greg.mpls@... Date: 2018-10-06T15:31:53+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:89296] [Ruby trunk Bug#15206] require_relative in std_lib Issue #15206 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L). The Appveyor run on the PR passed. Appveyor testing has been intermittently failing. With parallel/multi testing (test-all and/or test-spec), there can be a lot more files being checked and possibly loaded. Considering more than one CI VM may be exist on a system, and they may share drives, anything that lowers disk I/O is good. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15206: require_relative in std_lib https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15206#change-74329 * Author: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I noticed that there are some `require` for internal files in `lib/`. Ideally, they would be using `require_relative` instead. This is faster and more explicit. Note: `require_relative` had a potential issue with symlinks that was fixed in 2.5, so libraries that might be loaded from earlier Ruby, like `rubygems`, can not yet be updated. I've [created a PR](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1976) and would like to know if there are comments / objections / things I'm missing. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
