Am I the only person having this problem? This is in different code sources we are maintaining. Here is the latest. In a new project I setup test with minitest/spec 1. added pp $LOAD_PATH to my test_helper.rb 2. rake test $> rake test ["/Users/lmondesi/Projects/new_project/lib", "/Users/lmondesi/Projects/new_project/lib/new_project", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/rake-12.0.0/lib", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/did_you_mean-1.1.0/lib", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/minitest-5.10.1/lib", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4.0", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4.0/x86_64-darwin16", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.4.0", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.4.0/x86_64-darwin16", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0", "/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0/x86_64-darwin16"] /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0/syslog/logger.rb:81:in `': uninitialized constant Logger (NameError) from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0/syslog/logger.rb:48:in `' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.1_1/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require' ---------------------------------------- Bug #13040: syslog/logger uses "require 'logger'" which is interpreted as circular dependency https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13040#change-64878 * Author: lemsx1 (Luis Mondesi) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- while using the 'syslog/logger' require from Ruby it works well, however if one tries to use it via "test" it complaints about circular require and the constant "Logger" not defined. After a little digging, I realized that 'syslog/logger' has a line that says require 'logger' which could mean itself! The fix is to use require_relative '../logger' as this is what it intends in order to piggy back on Logger: Current code for syslog/logger: 1. # frozen_string_literal: false 2. require 'syslog' 3. require 'logger' Fixed code: 1. # frozen_string_literal: false 2. require 'syslog' 3. require_relative '../logger' -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
