Hello,
I'm overriding the initialize method of a base class and I'm trying
to set a Base class variable in the overridden method and have it
register in the Base class (hope that makes sense).
Here's my code:
[code]
in Rails::Generator::Base:
class Base
include Options
class_inheritable_accessor :spec
def initialize(runtime_args, runtime_options = {})
@args = runtime_args
parse!(@args, runtime_options)
# Derive source and destination paths.
@source_root = options[:source] || File.join(spec.path, 'templates')
end
end
class MediaModuleGenerator < Rails::Generator::Base
def initialize(runtime_args, runtime_options = {})
self.spec.path = File.dirname(__FILE__) +
'/generators/media_module'
super
end
end
[/code]
I should mention that spec is a module w/in the Rails framework IE:
Rails::Generator::Spec
When I run my generator, I get this error:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! (NoMethodError) The
error occurred while evaluating nil.path
So when I set the self.spec.path var to File.dirname(__FILE__) +
'/generators/media_module', it's not registering in the base class.
Any ideas?
