Problem with autoload and nested modules/classes

Reported by Alexander Stanko | February 24th, 2011 @ 02:00 PM

Hello!

Let I have extras/ in autoload_paths, and also I have classes:

extras/gate/flight.rb

class Gate::Flight
end

extras/gate/reciever.rb

class Gate::Reciever
  Flight #load Gate::Flight for us
  Flight #ArgumentError: Gate is not missing constant Flight! 
end

Is it normal behavior, and I should always type Gate::Flight in all nested modules/classes?
If not, I make a patch to fix this issue.

    This is a duplicate of #5383 - if you rewrite your class definitions so that they're not inline everything will work, e.g:

      module Gate
    class Flight; end
    class Receiver
      Flight #load 
      Flight 
    end
  end

    This is because Ruby searches for constants in Object first when defined as ModuleName::ClassName but inside the parent module when nested properly.
