Situation: At least on my box, rails has the outside potential of making gems load in the wrong order on 1.9 ex: [first install test-unit gem v 2.0.6, 1.2.3] gem ''rails'', ''= 2.3.5'' $LOAD_PATH.uniq! # active_support (?) does this internally # now load a gem: gem ''test-unit'', ''= 1.2.3'' require ''test/unit/version'' puts Test::Unit::VERSION # should be 1.2.3 The reason for this is that gems on 1.9 relies on gem_prelude to have left a marker in the load path: $LOAD_PATH.find{|l| l.instance_variables.include? (:@gem_prelude_index)} running this before and after the uniq! shows that uniq! is apparently accidentally removing said marker. This causes weirdness when running tests that use the gem ''xxx'', ''1.2.3'' style of loading (ex: rspec). Is this a known bug? Anybody want to patch this up, or I probably could.
