Classpath search order is not respected by require when classpath includes both
jars and directories
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-2855
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2855
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1.3, JRuby 1.1.2
Environment: Linux and WinXp.
Reporter: Bill Dortch
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Classpath search order is not respected by require when classpath includes both
jars and directories. A Ruby script defined in a directory later in the
classpath will be loaded in preference to a script by the same name included in
a jar earlier in the classpath. For example:
Directory /var/tmp/foo contains file date.rb:
{noformat}
# /var/tmp/foo/date.rb
puts "foo date"
{noformat}
{noformat}
export CLASSPATH=/path/to/jruby/lib/jruby-complete.jar:/var/tmp/foo
java org.jruby.Main -e "require 'date'"
foo date
{noformat}
The JRubyClassLoader does find the correct file if I call it directly, so this
must happen elsewhere in LoadService. I took a quick look but didn't spot
another place where classpath is searched.
The classpath search order _is_ respected if the files are included in a jar
instead.
The use case is an environment that supports both JRuby and C-Ruby; ideally
JRuby would load its own version of files included in jruby-complete.jar, but
could share other directories with C-Ruby.
