Issue #19168 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter). Note that this verbiage is similar to the standard ENOENT message: "No such file or directory". I suspect this message was just modified for load/require purposes. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19168: "such file" is bad grammar https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19168#change-103017 * Author: masterleep2 (Bill Lipa) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [arm64-darwin22] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The error message for a missing required file has bad grammar: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'wuxx' <internal:/opt/local/lib/ruby3.1/3.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require': cannot load such file -- wuxx (LoadError) The "such" should be removed.
