Bug #1733: require does not look at current directory anymore ?

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-03 trunk 23939)

=begin
In ruby-1.9 trunk, the behaviour of require has changed.
Require does not look at the current directory anymore.
Is this intentional ?

$ cat a.rb
puts "Hello World"

$ cat b.rb
require 'a'
puts "Goodbye World"

$ ruby -v b.rb
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-03 trunk 23939) [i386-mingw32]
b.rb:1:in require': no such file to load -- a (LoadError) from b.rb:1:in '

Replacing require 'a' with require './a' or require_relative 'a' works.
But this introduces incompatibility issues with code that works with ruby-1.8 and ruby-1.9.1-p129.

Yes, there was a security risk.

In what cases do you need it in the load path?

Command line option -I. or environment variable RUBYLIB="."
can't help you?

Matz, thanks for the explanation/clarification.

Nobu, the RUBYLIB environment variable is a good enough solution. Thanks.
