The doc says: Returns a result of invoking a method *on the target
object *using
the specified message name and arguments.
The target object does not have a method1 so the error is to be expected I
think. In addition, .b~new is not a class object, so that would cause
another error I think.
Not sure exactly what you ultimately want to do, but this is an example of
using an array for the first arg of send()
a=.a~new
::class a subclass b
::method init
self~send(.array~of("method1",.b))
::method method1
say 'hi from method1 in a'
::class b
::method method1
say "hi from method1 in b"
produces:
hi from method1 in b
You could also do this:
a=.a~new
::class a subclass b
::method init
self~send(.array~of("method1",.b))
::class b
::method method1
say "hi from method1 in b"
which produces the same thing.
Or, perhaps you wanted something like this:
a=.a~new
::class a
::method init
bObj = .b~new
bObj~send("method1")
::class b
::method method1
say "hi from method1 in b"
