Assignee set to Yukihiro Matsumoto Matz issue. ---------------------------------------- Feature #10771: An easy way to get the source location of a constant https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10771#change-51241 * Author: Tsuyoshi Sawada * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- For constants, it is difficult to get the source location where it was (last) defined. I request either of the following to be implemented: * Tracepoint emits a signal when a constant is defined. * Implement a `Constant` class (similar to `Method` class) and a `constant` method (similar to `method` method) that behave as follows: foo1.rb 1| module Foo 2| Bar = :bar 3| end 4| Foo.constant(:Bar) #=> # 5| Foo.constant(:Bar).source_location #=> ["foo1.rb", 2] * Implement `Module#constant_source_location` foo2.rb 1| module Foo 2| Bar = :bar 3| end 4| Foo.constant_source_location(:Bar) #=> ["foo2.rb", 2] -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
