Benoit, you are absolutely right about the error message. I was a bad person and didn't really check after copying & pasting... Regarding the method name, `#private_call?` sounds better to me than `private_method_callable?`. Nakamura-san, sorry I wasn't clear enough in the first place. It would be great if you could read the further explanation I posted above. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12043: Add a method to NoMethodError that tells if private methods are callable at the time of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12043#change-56844 * Author: Yuki Nishijima * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- I've briefly talked about this to Sasada-san, but also wanted to hear from other committers. I would like to add a method to `NoMethodError` that tells whether or not private methods are callable from the line where the exception is raised. An example would be like this: ```ruby begin raies "Error" # rescue NoMethodError => no_method_error no_method_error.private_method_callable? # => true end ``` The only use case I can think of is [the spell checker in the did_you_mean gem](https://github.com/yuki24/did_you_mean/blob/c4f0247/lib/did_you_mean/spell_checkers/method_name_checker.rb#L18) and I'm not actually sure how useful it would be for others. Please let me know what you think, I'm open to suggestions. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
