I noticed the following today I've a module SecuritySystem::SecretsProxy. SecuritySystem::SecretsProxy::AnyConstant evaluates to AnyConstant (as long as AnyConstant is something Dependencies can load but is not loaded yet), even though AnyConstant isn't defined at that level. The second time you evaluate SecuritySystem::SecretsProxy::AnyConstant then you get a NameError as I expected to get in the first place.
When load_missing_constant is called (to find AnyConstant inside SecuritySystem::SecretsProxy) it does check whether any of its parents defined AnyConstant (precisely so that SecuritySystem::SecretsProxy::AnyConstant cannot find ::AnyConstant. However in the edge case I describe AnyConstant has not been loaded at all and so this check does nothing. I think this is slightly unhelpful behaviour (I certainly spent some time scratching my head as a result of it, the fact that it didn't occur in development because of the the reloading that goes on made it even more interesting). I've done a little playing around to see if I could catch this and raise a more helpful NameError but can't (at least not after half an hour's fiddling) come up with something that correctly identifies this situation. Am I flogging a dead horse or does anyone have a bright idea/ helpful insight into this?
