Issue #21154 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). I would like you to learn how to write a bug report.
the second line could evaluate to `nil`.
Please write a self-contained reproducible example that actually does that, not just say “could”. Then write down the results you expect to get with that code, and the actual results. Also, I want you to write the background (what you want to do finally), and why the current behavior is troubling for your purpose. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21154: Document or change Module#autoload? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21154#change-112097 * 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/
