Issue #19168 has been updated by masterleep2 (Bill Lipa). "No such file" is proper English, while "cannot load such file" is not. It seems like this message was written by a non native speaker. It's also one of the most common Ruby error messages that a new (or experienced) Ruby user will see. Obviously, it is a cosmetic issue only, but I do think it would be better to have a correct grammatical message for this frequent case. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19168: "such file" is bad grammar https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19168#change-103035 * 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.
