Issue #20056 has been updated by zverok (Victor Shepelev).
That's more or less the same diff I came up with before I determined we need more refactoring so that `Dir#chdir` never yields an argument to the block.
I provided the diff to solve return value problem for the **block form**. Which is not a _big_ problem, but still might be confusing: ```ruby Dir.chdir('doc') do # ...some more logic or calling other modules # ...which might do something like... Dir['*.md'].map { File.read(_1) }.join("\n\n") end #=> what was calculated in the block Dir.new('doc').chdir do Dir['*.md'].map { File.read(_1) }.join("\n\n") end #=> nil ``` This is simply fixed by `return`ing what the called method have returned, right? Whatever the implementation is chosen. ---------------------------------------- Misc #20056: Dir#chdir inconsistency with Dir.chdir https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20056#change-105635 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) ---------------------------------------- I am not sure it is important; I just wanted to understand if this is intentional or accidental. 1. There is no block form for `Dir#chdir`, unlike `Dir.chdir` (the form that will return to the previous directory when the block is finished) 2. `Dir.chdir` returns `0`, while `Dir#chdir` returns `nil` (both seem to be not representing any particular internal value, just a hardcoded return value). -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
