Issue #21154 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria). You have also take into account that in that example `const_added` is called, `Module#constants` lists `:Foo`. So, the whole thing is kind of inconsistent right now. But as a Ruby programmer, I cannot make sense of it without your help. Maybe the response of the Ruby team is "oh, that is right, `autoload? should be a fast lookup and nothing else!", or "actually not, the way to make all this fit together is to revise such and such APIs". ---------------------------------------- Misc #21154: Document or change Module#autoload? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21154#change-112100 * Author: fxn (Xavier Noria) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- 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/
