From: Marc-Andre Lafortune Date: 2009-10-14T13:06:09+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:26080] [Bug #2206] lib/delegate: inconsistency between respond_to? and send Bug #2206: lib/delegate: inconsistency between respond_to? and send http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2206 Author: Marc-Andre Lafortune Status: Open, Priority: Normal Category: lib, Target version: 1.9.2 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-10-13 trunk 25317) [x86_64-darwin10.0.0] require 'delegate' class A private def private_method :bar end end x = SimpleDelegator.new(A.new) x.respond_to?(:private_method, true) # ==> true x.send(:private_method) # ==> NoMethodError I expected the call to private_method to be delegated. The attached patch fixes the problem. It is not very elegant but I couldn't think of anything better. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
