Issue #21323 has been updated by jneen (Jeanine Adkisson). I ran into this today with both Pry (evaluating .pryrc) and Rack (evaluating config.ru), via the `puma` executable. From what I can tell, both gem executables are (I think improperly) loaded in the root box, through a plain call to `load` in `Gem.activate_and_load_bin_path`. I think this is improper because it can result in the entire app being run in the root box - which might not even cause an error in many cases! These gems, however, go on to eval code on TOPLEVEL_BINDING - for example the contents of .pryrc, the commands typed into the console, or config.ru in Rack's case. Since TOPLEVEL_BINDING is attached to the user namespace, this code then cannot see any of the constants that were defined during the gem load. My guess is that the error would be "patched" by TOPLEVEL_BINDING being box-local - but only by causing *all* user code to be loaded in the root box, which I do not believe is the intention. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21323: irb fails to start with Namespace https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21323#change-116301 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Closed * ruby -v: ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-10T07:50:29Z namespace-on-read-.. bd4f57f96b) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ``` $ irb irb(main):001> 6 * 7 => 42 $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 irb /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/bin/ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future!
