Subject: [ruby-core:46226] [ruby-trunk - Bug #4487] require_relative fails in an eval'ed file


Issue #4487 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).


=begin
@LTe I'd rather ask you "require_relative loads something relative from WHAT?"

Obviously it is not relative from your mind :)

Current require_relative loads relative from where the require_relative command is written.  So when in IRB sessions, it fails to infer where it is beacuse the command is written in a non-file (console).

OTOH load loads from process PWD, which is possible in IRB.

So the point is, if you want require_relative to work on an IRB session, you have to define "from where require_relative should search relativeness".

Hello all.
 
 $cat eval_me1.rb
 eval(File.read('eval_me2.rb'), binding, File.expand_path('./eval_me2.rb'))
 $cat eval_me2.rb
 require_relative 'eval_me1.rb'
 $ ruby eval_me1.rb
 C:/dev/ruby/faster_require/spec/eval_me2.rb:1:in `require_relative': cannot infer basepath (LoadError)
        from C:/dev/ruby/faster_require/spec/eval_me2.rb:1:in `<main>'
        from eval_me1.rb:1:in `eval'
        from eval_me1.rb:1:in `<main>'

I suppose was assuming that if eval included a filename, then require_relative would work from within it. Perhaps I am mistaken?
Thanks!
