Suppose you have foo.rb:
def __DIR__
caller[0]
raise 'death'
end
puts __DIR__
If you call that from, say, a directory two levels below it, you get this:
818 $ macruby ../../foo.rb
foo.rb:2:in `__DIR__': death (RuntimeError)
from foo.rb:6:in `<main>'
In 1.8.6 (and I sure hope in stock 1.9), you get filenames with the relative
directory:
819 $ ruby ../../foo.rb
../../foo.rb:3:in `__DIR__': death (RuntimeError)
from ../../foo.rb:6
I think that's important because there are tools (IDEs, my emacs hacks) that
use the backtrace from a test to jump to the failing code. You can't do that
unless you have the full pathname.
I will file a ticket if this is a real bug.
