Class: ActiveSupport::Dependencies::WatchStack

Relationships & Source Files
Super Chains via Extension / Inclusion / Inheritance
Instance Chain:
self, ::Enumerable
Inherits: Object
Defined in: activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb

Overview

The WatchStack keeps a stack of the modules being watched as files are loaded. If a file in the process of being loaded (parent.rb) triggers the load of another file (child.rb) the stack will ensure that child.rb handles the new constants.

If child.rb is being autoloaded, its constants will be added to autoloaded_constants. If it was being required, they will be discarded.

This is handled by walking back up the watch stack and adding the constants found by child.rb to the list of original constants in parent.rb.

Class Method Summary

Instance Attribute Summary

::Enumerable - Included

#many?

Returns true if the enumerable has more than 1 element.

Instance Method Summary

::Enumerable - Included

#exclude?

The negative of the Enumerable#include?.
#index_by

Convert an enumerable to a hash.
#sum

Calculates a sum from the elements.

Constructor Details

.new ⇒ WatchStack

if parent.rb is autoloaded, the stack will look like [[Object]]. If parent.rb then requires namespace/child.rb, the stack will look like [[Object], [Namespace]].

    #watch_namespaces(namespaces)  
  



  

    

Add a set of modules to the watch stack, remembering the initial constants.
