See: https://github.com/nearinfinity/blur/issues/167 The following patch against the thrift 0.8.x branch fixes the issue for me: {code} --- t_rb_generator.cc.orig 2012-02-08 23:20:54.000000000 -0500 +++ t_rb_generator.cc 2012-02-08 23:21:02.000000000 -0500 @@ -1070,7 +1070,7 @@ } string t_rb_generator::full_type_name(t_type* ttype) { - string prefix = ""; + string prefix = "::"; vector<std::string> modules = ruby_modules(ttype->get_program()); for (vector<std::string>::iterator m_iter = modules.begin(); m_iter != modules.end(); ++m_iter) { {code} > Ruby compiler does not correctly referred to top-level modules when a > submodule masks the top-level name > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-556 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-556 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Ruby - Compiler > Reporter: Evan Weaver > > Currently, if you set a top-level module for thrift/ruby that's the same name > as an inner class, thrift does not reference the top level appropriately. > Example bad code: > .thrift: > namespace rb Cassandra > .rb: > module Cassandra > module Cassandra > class Client > ... > COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name => > 'column_parent', :class => Cassandra::ColumnParent}, > Ruby checks the inner module first, and does not find the class, raising an > error. > The fix is to have every place that references the top-level module prepend > it with '::': > COLUMN_PARENT => {:type => ::Thrift::Types::STRUCT, :name => > 'column_parent', :class => ::Cassandra::ColumnParent}, -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
