Status changed from Open to Closed With the separation of keyword arguments and positional arguments in #14183, I think this can be closed. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14176: Unclear error message when calling method with keyword arguments https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14176#change-82151 * Author: vfonic (Viktor Fonic) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-darwin17] * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I (wrongly) created a method with the following signature: def asd(first, options: {}); end (notice that options is a keyword argument) I called the method this way: asd(arg, options) And got the following misleading error: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1) It took me some time to realize that the options argument is a keyword argument: > method(:asd) Object#asd(first, ?) It would be much more helpful if the error would mention this: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1 and 1 keyword argument: options) Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
