Is it possible to give a sub-module the same name as a top-level class?

Question

Background:

• ruby thinks I'm referencing a top-level constant even when I specify the full namespace
• How do I refer to a submodule's "full

Answer 1

Here's another fun example:

module SomeName
  class Client
  end
end

module Integrations::SomeName::Importer
  def perform
    ...
    client = ::SomeName::Client.new(...)
    ...
  end
end

That produces:

block in load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Integrations::SomeName::Importer::SomeName (NameError)

Ruby (2.3.4) just goes to the first occurrence of "SomeName" it can find, not to the top-level.

A way to get around it is to either use better nesting of modules/classes(!!), or to use Kernel.const_get('SomeName')
