Issue #21154 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria). Hi @mame. After thinking about this, I have an important use case that I'd like to share, because it conflicts with that documentation patch. I recorded [this video](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f0oemgyf0jmhzszx6hj0p/autoload_and_require.mp4?rlkey=i8jrt0tgyf09c47h7rl4swh0e&st=ah35tkxw&dl=0) to explain it to you and all the team. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21154: Document or change Module#autoload? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21154#change-112372 * Author: fxn (Xavier Noria) * Status: Feedback * Assignee: mame (Yusuke Endoh) ---------------------------------------- The documentation of `Module#autoload?` says
Returns filename to be loaded if name is registered as autoload in the namespace of mod or one of its ancestors.
Cool, but in the following snippet ```ruby autoload :Foo, 'foo' autoload?(:Foo) ``` the second line could evaluate to `nil`, and this does not seem to agree. I just registered an autoload, therefore (according to the documentation) I should get "foo" back in line 2. I'd like to ask for clarification from the Ruby team: 1. Is the documentation complete? Should that second line always return "foo"? 2. If the answer is no, which is the logic missing in the docs? Thank you! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
