Hello,
I think this used to work in the past, but isn't working with recent
Ruby versions (since sometime in the 1.6.x stream):
class MyClass
SomeConstant = 1
def MyClass.block(&block)
instance_eval(&block)
end
end
MyClass.block { puts SomeConstant }
Now it says:
NameError: uninitialized constant SomeConstant
In order to make it work, I have to define:
class MyClass
def MyClass.method_missing(name)
constant = name.to_s
constant = constant[0..0].upcase + constant[1..-1]
eval constant
end
end
Then I can effectively use lower-case accessor functions for the
constants:
MyClass.block { puts someConstant }
Is it possible to make it work without this crutch?
Thanks,
Aron
