$VERBOSE=nil or remove method first by using remove_method.

Thank you for your help.

I would like to keep the warnings on, so I don't see $VERBOSE=nil as a
viable option.

remove_method works for me except when I need to call the super method
in the new definition.

Is there another way to get rid of the warning or to use remove_method
and still be able to use the super method?

warning and remove_method are not related with super. IIRC, warning
was caused when you replace an existing method without making any
alias to the original.

class Foo
def foo
p :foo
end
end
class Bar < Foo
def foo
end
# warning
def foo
end
# remove foo in Bar
remove_method :foo
# no warning
def foo
super # calls foo in Foo
end
end
Bar.new.foo
