Issue #12458 has been reported by Sean Mackesey.
----------------------------------------
Bug #12458: ::new returns `nil` when first argument is a String '*'
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12458
* Author: Sean Mackesey
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* ruby -v:
* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I encountered this bug on the 2.4.0-dev branch. It does not exist in 2.3.0.
I have a class with this initialize method:
~~~
def initialize(str, **kwargs)
@raw = str
kwargs.each { |k,v| instance_variable_set("@#{k}", v) }
end
~~~
When I call ::new with the String '*' as the first argument `str`, it returns `nil` instead of a new instance. I discovered in a class buried deep in my application and was unable to replicate it in a simpler script context.
