uninitialized constant error... trying to create a TCPsocket in amodule

Okay, forget about the editor thing.. (;

Trying to convert the BBS to 1.9. I've run into a weird problem with
some code I didn't write...

basically, I'm getting an error trying to create a TCPsocket..

/home/mark/qbbs2/chat/common.rb:40:in `initialize': uninitialized
constant Chat::Client::TCPsocket (NameError)

I've been looking on the web, and it looks like there have been
scoping changes, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Excerpts
below...



except from irc.rb

require 'chat/common'

require 'chat/irc/command'
require 'chat/irc/event'
require 'chat/irc/message'
require 'chat/irc/numeric'
require 'chat/irc/security'

module IRC

# IRC client data
class Client < Chat::Client

def initialize(host="localhost", port=6667)
super
@irccmd = IRC::Command.new
end

exerpt from common.rb

require 'observer'

require 'socket'




module Chat



# Basic client components

class Client



# Include changed/notify_observers methods.

include Observable



def initialize(host, port)

@sock = TCPsocket.new(host, port)

end

Spelled wrong, I guess. The correct name is TCPSocket, not TCPsocket.

Thanks. I looked at that for hours and didn't notice. I take it the
rules have been more strictly enforced in 1.9 (because that's been
like that for years)? I've never really cared for capitalisation
making a difference...

Oh well, ifI was afraid of looking stupid, I'd never post...

Capitalization of identifiers *always* made a difference in Ruby!
("always" meaning "as long as I use Ruby, which is somewhere since
1.8.x" - but I doubt such a crucial feature has changed before; if at
all then I guess in one of 0.x versions.)

Almost always:

$ ruby -v -r socket -e 'p TCPSocket, TCPsocket'
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux]
TCPSocket
TCPSocket
