activesupport 3.0.6 gem: require 'active_support/core_ext' generates "circular require" warning

Reported by Alexey Muranov | April 19th, 2011 @ 09:20 AM

I am getting in activesupport 3.0.6 a "circular require" warning when running ruby or irb with -w option.
There were no such warning in 3.0.5.

If I do

$ irb -w
> require 'active_support/core_ext'

I get
"warning: loading in progress, circular require considered harmful...".

If I do

$ irb -w
> gem 'activesupport', '=3.0.5'
> require 'active_support/core_ext'

it works quietly.

It this a bug in activesupport 3.0.6 gem?

- Tag changed from “active_support core_ext, 3.0.6, activesupport” to “active_support core_ext, 3.0.6, 3.0.7, activesupport”
This warning is still present in activesupport 3.0.7.

Sorry Xavier, I am new to Rails, i have never patched anything before, and i do not know where this bug originates from.
Xavier Noria April 19th, 2011 @ 01:07 PM
Cool. I emailed some starting material via the mailing list in case you'd like to try. It's a good exercise, and since this is a circular require it does not require knowledge of Rails internals. I encourage you to try it if you feel like it :).

Otherwise, no worries Alexey, perhaps someone may provide a patch.

Thanks Xavier, i'll think about it.
Was i supposed to receive your message through the mailing list?
I wasn't receiving any messages, so i just activated "Ruby on Rails" in my subscriptions, it was off.
Can you send it to me directly at muranov@math.univ-toulouse.fr please?
