[ruby-talk:13563] Mysterious error messages

From: Luis Casillas <casillas@...>
Date: 2001-04-08 20:04:40 UTC
List: ruby-talk #13563
Hello everybody.

I've recently started coding in Ruby, and I must say that I'm very
pleased with the language.

However, a couple of days ago I ran into a problem I can't
understand.  I'll show you the offending code and error message
(numbers are line numbers.  The lines I leave out are either comments
or blank.  The program terminates fatally at line 8):

1 #!/usr/local/bin/ruby -I /usr/local/corpora/220A/Ruby
6 load "vars.rb"
8 require "cgi"

/usr/local/corpora/220A/apache/cgi-bin/trans_display.rb:8:in `require': wrong argument type Array (expected String) (TypeError)
        from /usr/local/corpora/220A/apache/cgi-bin/trans_display.rb:8
[Sun Apr  8 12:47:26 2001] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/corpora/220A/apache/cgi-bin/trans_display.rb

The file "vars.rb" do nothing but define some global variables:

DIRROOT = "/usr/local/corpora/220A/"
$: << [ DIRROOT + "/Ruby/" ]
TRANS_DIR = DIRROOT + "/callhome_spanish_trans_970711/"
DATA_DIR = DIRROOT + "/DATA/"

The strangest thing is that if I reverse the order of lines 6 and 8
above, the program works perfectly.  This exact same behavior happens
in several other scripts.

I would like to know if this is a bug or not.  It certainly is very
unexpected behavior.  Ideally, I'd like to understand how my code, the
internals of Ruby, and the CGI module are conspiring here ;).

I should mention that the order that produces the error is the one I
would prefer-- the one that defines the constants and sets the load
path first.
