Turned out I used class variables. I then also understood that there was no need for me to use them. Since I wasted time, and also had a bug, I decided that day to no longer use class variables at all. There are a very few use cases where they may seem not totally useless, but so far I myself did not need them at all. And I follow a philosophy that less (code) is more. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
