The search path serves as a kind of 'namespace' prefix to prevent clashes of yast-ruby modules with other ruby plugins. yast2-core used to have a "-M" option (similar to -I of C compilers) to specify load pathes for modules. Would that fix this issue ?

I doubt, because the ruby modules need to be available from ycp clients as well. Ideally, I'd expect that ruby module installed at ruby_vendor_dir y_lib/kerberos_client.rb would be available in YaST as import "YLib/kerberos_client" or (with some automatic lower/upper case magic) import "YLib/KerberosClient" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Most ruby libraries does not offer the kind of API YCP expects for its modules just like YaPI perl modules are not the typical perl module.

So a typical .rb file is not useful for YaST. It has to be a file with a module containing module methods.

Right for typical files, but could we have extra solution for those rb files written for YaST++ project? Currently we expect them to be located in ruby_vendor_dir/y_lib/kerberos_client.rb so maybe a import "YLib/KerberosClient" could be able to handle it because of YLib prefix? Yes, other way is to install something (envelope or just symlimk) into /usr/share/YaST/modules/YLib, but it would be nicer if we should not have to care about it at least in case of these special ruby modules. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Specific solution for y_lib is possible, but I think we need at first decide if this is what we really want ( e.g. now we face problem with exceptions etc. ). Also we can easy workaround it via generated layer between YLib and ycp. So I let it live, but set low priority, as it is yast++ specific and we should decide if we really want it there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
