Issue #19849 has been reported by p8 (Petrik de Heus). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19849: Requiring file with autoload results in confusing error if file doesn't exist https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19849 * Author: p8 (Petrik de Heus) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Given the following file: ```ruby # example.rb require_relative 'autoload_example.rb' Example.new ``` and the constant `Example` is defined using autoload, with an unknown path: ```ruby # autoload_example.rb autoload "Example", "path_unknown" ``` Running `ruby example.rb` results in the following error: ``` <internal:~/.rubies/ruby-3.2.2/lib/ruby/3.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require': cannot load such file -- path_unknown (LoadError) from <internal:~/.rubies/ruby-3.2.2/lib/ruby/3.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require' from example.rb:1:in `<main>' ``` The error is somewhat confusing as it doesn't show the location of the `autoload` which caused the error. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
