Overriding private methods

[snacktime]

So I'm hacking on rails and in activerecord there are two methods that
have public and private versions. I need to override the private
method. How would I go about doing that?

If I understand what you are trying to do, this is typically how I do
that:

class Private
def run_func
you_cant_change_me
end

private
def you_cant_change_me
puts "you can't change me!"
end
end

class Private
private
def you_cant_change_me
puts "you changed me!"
end
end

a = Private.new
a.run_func
