Well, I got something. If I write define_method is this way:
define_method(:say_hello) { puts 'hello' }
then the "say_hello" method can be defined dynamically. Quite strange!
But I still cannot figure out why
OtherClass.ferret_fields.keys.each do |field|
define_method :"ferret_#{field}" do
other_object.send(field)
end
end
doesn't work. Is this becouse define_method is in the context of
OtherClass and thus dynamically adds all the method to OtherClass?
