Category: #gem and #require methods Group: v1.3.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Erik Hollensbe (erikh) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: rubygems plugins, 1.9 and circular requires Initial Comment: I apologize in advance if this is confusing. I'm not entirely sure if this is gem_prelude's fault or rubygems's or even ruby proper's fault, but here goes: http://www.gem-testers.org/gems/rubygems-test/v/0.2.1/test_results/2 If you carefully examine the stack trace, you'll see that the rdoc plugin is being pulled in, then hanna is being pulled in. What happens in hanna is that rubygems is pulled in, ergo our problem. This is all done in from a rake process spawned by rubygems-test which uses open4 which in 1.9 uses threads, so threading may be a part of the issue here. This issue does not exhibit in 1.8, but it uses fork there. I was unable to test in RG 1.4 because of the obvious. I was able to fix this in rubygems-test 0.2.1 for the 'gem test' provider. The commit below is the fix. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-test/commit/72b0e136889fcd2509bb040de3fe9220c4b8bc13 You can see that I abuse autoload there to ensure that any rubygems dependencies (and YAML to be safe) are only loaded once. This is because of the above issue. These patches fix it but not for rdoc and (I presume) other plugins. What probably needs to happen is some beyond-the-call-of-duty $:/$" inspection before plugin load runs or to somehow load plugins with autoload (I don't think this is possible though). Obviously I'm deferring to your experience. Please feel free to tell me where to stick this bug report if it does not belong here, I'm just convinced after the discrete repros that it at least gets close to starting in rubygems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=28844&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
