Bug #19864
closedRuby 3.2 Changed Behavior With One Sided Ranges
Description
Thank you for taking the time to read my issue. I know there has been some previous discussion here https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19533 regarding a similar issue, although I think this is different. I apologize if this has already been addressed.
Prior to Ruby 3.2, you could use a beginless or endless range, and use === (or a case statement) to determine if a given date matched that range. For example, (..today) === yesterday would have returned true, and (tomorrow..) === today would have returned false. Please see my attached file for a more concrete example.
Starting with Ruby 3.2, this results in "`===': cannot determine inclusion in beginless/endless ranges (TypeError)".
I can imagine that there is difficulty and ambiguity with these infinite ranges and non numeric objects, however I do feel that these examples with dates should work, especially since (..Date.today).cover?(Date.today) still works as expected.

I tested the idea with whole numbers, and it doesn't fail.
I tested the idea with dates not in the extremes, and it DOES fail.
Attached 2 examples.
The first one using numbers:
(..0) === 0
Which works fine both in Ruby 3.1 and 3.2
The second one using different dates. In particular, checking if "yesterday" is in the range of "..today":
require 'date'
today = Date.today
yesterday = today - 1
(..today) === yesterday
And it fails in 3.2, but works fine in 3.1.

Seems to be a bug indeed.
Originates from this commit, which fixed behavior for semi-open Ranges #include?
but also added semi-openness check to range_string_cover_internal
.

This appears to fix it:

I'll try to add tests and submit a pull request within a week.

Fix regression when testing inclusion in unbounded ranges
Caused by 04a92a6764bf678919cf4b68a27496a39d6b886a. This treats
unbounded ranges of arbitrary objects the same as how unbounded
string ranges are treated:
(..x) === y # (y <=> x) <= 0
(...x) === y # (y <=> x) < 0
(x..) === y # (x <=> y) <= 0
