Feature #5421
closed-r option useless
Description
Ran into a problem trying to require a plugin I had written while running a ruby scipt, e.g.
$ ruby -rmyplugin script.rb
It tells me "no such file" for myplugin. Turns out the problem is that the -r option uses internal require code and thus circumvents rubygems or any modified #require, so even though my RUBYOPT="-rubygems", it makes no difference. I've also been informed that RUBYOPT is applied after -r options, which makes for an additional problem. Apparently this so -T can ignore RUBYOPT? But if that's the only reason, then -T should be preparsed from ARGV b/c having -r options load first prevents augmentation and use of what RUBYOPT loads by -r. RUBYOPT is supposed to set the environment, but it isn't much of an environment if its not there when I run a ruby command.
I've marked this report as a feature b/c I'm sure someone would take issue if I did otherwise, but I personally see it as a bug b/c it makes -r useless in many cases.
