Hey gang.
Jed noticed an issue with the 'dependency'/'dependencies' macro the other
day when working on the Collective wiki. Namely, if you make RedCloth a
dependency Merb gets a little cranky. I think I have this figured out when
doing some mods to Collective today too. However, before I go trying to fix
this in Merb, I wanted to run this by the community.
The problem is simple: RedCloth requires you first load Rubygems. That
is...
Hey Jed.
I think I have this 'dependency' and RedCloth thing figured out. When I was
trying to make the Viking gem a dependency Merb complained. Do you know
what both RedCloth and Viking (gem) require? Rubygems! That is...
# In IRB...
irb> require 'redcloth'
LoadError: no such file to load -- redcloth
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
from :0
irb> require 'rubygems'
true
irb> require 'redcloth'
true
My question is this: do we change the dependencies macro to load rubygems
when this happens, or do we ignore it and demand that the user explicitly
require a library outside of the dependencies macro (see
http://github.com/meekish/collective/tree/master/config/init.rb#L25 for an
illustration)?
