From: nobu@... Date: 2018-03-17T12:47:32+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:86168] [Ruby trunk Bug#14461][Rejected] Public SecureRandom.alphanumeric method does not appear in rdoc generated documentation Issue #14461 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). Status changed from Open to Rejected You see wrong place. `alphanumeric` is a method defined in [Random::Formatter]. [Random::Formatter]: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.0/libdoc/securerandom/rdoc/Random/Formatter.html#method-i-alphanumeric ---------------------------------------- Bug #14461: Public SecureRandom.alphanumeric method does not appear in rdoc generated documentation https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14461#change-71052 * Author: f3ndot (Justin Bull) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: 2.5.0p0 * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The `private def` keywords for methods above the `SecureRandom.alphanumeric` definition (method via #10849) appear to have caused rdoc generation to not output anything for the method. See http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.0/libdoc/securerandom/rdoc/SecureRandom.html for evidence of it being absent from rdoc generated documentation. Speaking with one of the ruby-doc maintainers, he was the one who suggested this was the root cause of the missing entry.
