No, I mean that documentation is saying: "The return value equals to File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))." here: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.0/Kernel.html#method-i-__dir__ I've replaced the "File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))" in my source code with "__dir__" and got different result. I don't care about the exact value, but I expect it to be the same. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13126: __dir__ in eval returns nil https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13126#change-62485 * Author: Artem Shein * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ~~~ $ ruby -e 'eval "p File.dirname(__FILE__); p __dir__"' "." nil ~~~ -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
