Bug #5657

Constants in included modules aren't visible when defining classes with Class.new

Description

I define two classes that include a module. One is defined with class, one is defined with Class.new. I expect both to be able to reference constants in the included module. The class one can, but the Class.new one can't. Reproducing code:

module X
module Y
end
end

class Class1
include X
def self.f
# Works: Y is printed
p Y
end
end

Class2 = Class.new do
include X
def self.f
# Fails: "uninitialized constant Y"
p Y
end
end

Class1.f
Class2.f

It works with 1.9.2:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]
$ ruby bug.rb
X::Y
X::Y

but not 1.9.3-p0:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]
$ ruby bug.rb
X::Y
bug.rb:18:in f': uninitialized constant Y (NameError) from bug.rb:23:in '

or 1.9.3-head:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-11-08) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]
$ ruby bug.rb
X::Y
bug.rb:18:in f': uninitialized constant Y (NameError) from bug.rb:23:in '

I discovered this because it RSpec specs when going to 1.9.3: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/506

  • ruby -v changed from ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-11-08) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0] to -

It was a bug of 1.9.2 and fixed in 1.9.3.

Constants should be lookuped statically.
The behaviour is the same as 1.8.

Agreed. This was a bug in 1.9.2 probably caused by the (aborted) attempt to
change constant lookup rules in 1.9.

In that case, I think that this can be safely closed.
