Subject: [ruby-core:76094] [Ruby trunk Bug#12493] Confusing did_you_mean	error

Issue #12493 has been updated by Robert A. Heiler.


I guess the trivial fix would be to:

"if the name would be the same name, do not suggest an alternative name"

(since the alternative name would be == to the reported name)

Has someone reported this on the github issue tracker for the did you mean it gem? Perhaps the gem author has not yet seen this report here.

 irb(main):001:0> test = some_string if (some_string = "test")
(irb):1: warning: found = in conditional, should be ==
NameError: undefined local variable or method `some_string' for main:Object
Did you mean?  some_string
	from (irb):1
	from /home/tgxworld/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
```

I think assignment in a one liner if statement isn't encouraged but I found the suggestion to be quite confusing.
