Issue #21154 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria). Oohhh, now I understand! Thanks for explaining this. I am also not familiar with how dev meetings are run, so we were coming from different angles to this and I guess we were not quite understanding each other in the threads. Let me think if it is worth explaining how usage of `autoload?` in Zeitwerk is affected by this (the gem has a workaround to deal with this behavior). Let me think, I'll write back, thanks again for your clarifications @mame. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21154: Document or change Module#autoload? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21154#change-112110 * 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/
