Ruby compiler does not correctly referred to top-level modules when a submodule
masks the top-level name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-556
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-556
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler (Ruby)
Reporter: Evan Weaver
Currently, if you set a top-level module for thrift/ruby that's the same name
as an inner class, thrift does not reference the top level appropriately.
Example bad code:
.thrift:
namespace rb Cassandra
.rb:
module Cassandra
module Cassandra
class Client
...
COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name =>
'column_parent', :class => Cassandra::ColumnParent},
Ruby checks the inner module first, and does not find the class, raising an
error.
The fix is to have every place that references the top-level module prepend it
with '::':
COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name =>
'column_parent', :class => ::Cassandra::ColumnParent},
