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.

Instance Method Summary

::Enumerable - Included

#compact_blank

Returns a new ::Array without the blank items.
#exclude?

The negative of the Enumerable#include?.
#excluding

Returns a copy of the enumerable excluding the specified elements.
#including

Returns a new array that includes the passed elements.
#index_by

Convert an enumerable to a hash, using the block result as the key and the element as the value.
#index_with

Convert an enumerable to a hash, using the element as the key and the block result as the value.
#pick

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.
