Loader wants to manage directory which is already managed about zeitwerk

[fxn]

Hey!

I don't fully understand the situation. Let me ask you some questions.

I understand from the description that dor-services-client uses Zeitwerk, and dor-services does not. I also understand that dor-services depends on dor-services-client. So, at some point dor-services performs a require of some file from dor-services-client that defines its loader. Is that all right?

If yes, I do not get why the configured loader above has a root directory .../sul-dlss/dor-services/lib. That directory does not seem right for dor-services-client. Which is the explanation for that?

Can you also share the source code that instantiates and configures the Zeitwerk loader, and where is it located?

I think the problem was that we made our lib a relative require by zeitwerk. Making it an absolute path seems to have fixed the issue: https://github.com/sul-dlss/dor-services-client/pull/65/files

Oh yes, that is something to be careful about in gems.

Glad you found it.
