Right, if the method exists then method_missing won't be called. And that's what's causing the observed behavior. Initially, he has his hard coded find_by_ip method which gets called. This calls super No super method for find_by_ip is found, so method_missing gets called. In Rails < 2.0 the dynamic finder methods implementation was inside of method_missing, and afterwards there would still be no find_by_ip and so it would go. In Rails 2.0 the method_missing method dynamically adds a find_by_ip method, which overwrites the hard coded one (not I said overwrites rather than overrides). So the next time, his method is no longer there to do the parameter conversion thing. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
