gf fails on a $global_variable

[davidmathers]

Typing gf on variable $my_redis produced error E345: Can't find file "my_redi.rb" in path

I encounter a similar problem, just like E345: Can't find file "opts_array_process" in path, but the opts_array_process is a method defined in another ruby file. How to resolve that?

gf doesn't work on methods. Look into ctags.

Original issue is a nonstandard use case but probably still worth fixing.
