Issue #21324 has been updated by jas (Jasveen Sandral). I've identified the issue and prepared a fix. The problem is that RubyGems is being loaded into the root namespace during Ruby's boot process, and then all user namespaces inherit this same Gem constant through the Copy-on-Write mechanism. This causes all namespaces to share the same RubyGems environment and state, leading to version conflicts. The fix involves: 1. In `rb_initialize_main_namespace()`: - Detecting if the Gem constant exists in Object - Removing it explicitly with rb_const_remove() - Loading a fresh RubyGems environment 2. In `namespace_initialize()` (for Namespace.new): - Getting the namespace's own Object constant - Checking and removing any inherited Gem constant - Loading a clean RubyGems environment This ensures each namespace (main and optional) gets its own isolated RubyGems state, preventing version conflicts when loading gems across namespaces. I've created a PR with these changes: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/13313 ---------------------------------------- Bug #21324: Namespace loads RubyGems in root Namespace but it should not https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21324#change-113188 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * 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 ---------------------------------------- RubyGems has tons of mutable state, isn't core library and isn't "builtin classes" either, so it should not be in root Namespace, but it is currently: ``` $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 ruby -ve 'ns = Namespace.new; p ns::Gem.equal?(Gem)' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-10T07:50:29Z namespace-on-read-.. bd4f57f96b) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future!

Issue #21324 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). Loading RubyGems creates more constants than just `Gem`: ``` $ ruby -v --disable-gems -e 'a=Object.constants; require "rubygems"; b=Object.constants; p b-a' ruby 3.4.1 (2024-12-25 revision 48d4efcb85) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] [:Monitor, :MonitorMixin, :Gem, :CROSS_COMPILING, :RbConfig, :RUBYGEMS_ACTIVATION_MONITOR] ``` It seems very messy to try to remove that from the root namespace. The clean solution seems obvious: `gem_prelude.rb` shouldn't be loaded in the root namespace, but only in user namespaces. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21324: Namespace loads RubyGems in root Namespace but it should not https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21324#change-113197 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * 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 ---------------------------------------- RubyGems has tons of mutable state, isn't core library and isn't "builtin classes" either, so it should not be in root Namespace, but it is currently: ``` $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 ruby -ve 'ns = Namespace.new; p ns::Gem.equal?(Gem)' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-10T07:50:29Z namespace-on-read-.. bd4f57f96b) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future!

Issue #21324 has been updated by tagomoris (Satoshi Tagomori). I'll work on https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21881 to solve this problem. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21324: Namespace loads RubyGems in root Namespace but it should not https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21324#change-116446 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open * Assignee: tagomoris (Satoshi Tagomori) * 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 ---------------------------------------- RubyGems has tons of mutable state, isn't core library and isn't "builtin classes" either, so it should not be in root Namespace, but it is currently: ``` $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 ruby -ve 'ns = Namespace.new; p ns::Gem.equal?(Gem)' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-10T07:50:29Z namespace-on-read-.. bd4f57f96b) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future! See doc/namespace.md for know issues, etc. true ``` A concrete example of what breaks most likely due to this: ``` $ gem i delegate:0.3.1 $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 ruby -ve 'require "delegate"; p Delegator::VERSION; ns = Namespace.new; File.write "ns.rb", "gem %{delegate}, %{0.3.1}; require :delegate.to_s; p Delegator::VERSION"; ns.require "./ns"' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-10T07:50:29Z namespace-on-read-.. bd4f57f96b) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future! See doc/namespace.md for know issues, etc. "0.4.0" /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/lib/ruby/3.5.0+0/rubygems/specification.rb:2232:in 'Gem::Specification#check_version_conflict': can't activate delegate-0.3.1, already activated delegate-0.4.0 (Gem::LoadError) from /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/lib/ruby/3.5.0+0/rubygems/specification.rb:1383:in 'Gem::Specification#activate' from /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/lib/ruby/3.5.0+0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:62:in 'block in Kernel#gem' from /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/lib/ruby/3.5.0+0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:62:in 'Thread::Mutex#synchronize' from /home/eregon/prefix/ruby-master/lib/ruby/3.5.0+0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:62:in 'Kernel#gem' from /home/eregon/ns.rb:1:in '<top (required)>' from -e:1:in 'Namespace#require' from -e:1:in '<main>' ``` i.e. `ns` sees delegate-0.4.0 was loaded in main namespace but it shouldn't.
