[THRIFT-1916] Compiled ruby code generates warning if field with name "fields" is present

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 0.9
• Component/s: Ruby - Compiler
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

The compiler generates ruby code which uses a constant called FIELDS. It also converts each thrift field into a constant. So a field called "fields" will end up generating a constant with same name, producing the warning.

$ cat foo.thrift
struct Foo {
  1: list<string> fields;
}
$ thrift --gen rb -out . foo.thrift
$ irb
> require './foo_types'
/Users/ben/code/eqm/ruby-storm-connector/foo_types.rb:13: warning: already initialized constant FIELDS
 => true
