Description

Description

Prepare these directory and files

$ mkdir foo
$ echo binding.irb > foo/foobar.rb
$ echo "require'./foo/foobar.rb'" > main.rb

Then execute ruby main.rb

$ ruby main.rb
From: /Users/tomoya.ishida/Desktop/tmp/foo/bar.rb @ line 1 :

 => 1: binding.irb

irb(main):002> require_relative 'f
                                'foo/foobar

The completion should be 'foobar, not 'foo/foobar.
require_relative will load relative path from __dir__, not from pwd.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with main.rb and foo/foobar.rb, then trace IRB's require_relative completion behavior while Dir.pwd differs from dir. Verify the completion uses the directory of the loaded file and produces 'foobar rather than 'foo/foobar.
