Not really. As far as I know, super calls the method of the same name *in the parent class*, which isn't always the same thing. That's why we have alias_method_chain -- it wouldn't be necessary if super worked the way you claim. > AR injects accessor methods for every table column into the class. But into the model class itself, not AR::Base. There is no AR::Base#caption method for super to call. I suspect that super simply triggers AR's method_missing, which happens to do the right thing in this case. But that shouldn't be relied on as a general rule c > > 2009/10/8, Marnen Laibow-Koser <[email protected]>: >> Marnen Laibow-Koser >> http://www.marnen.org >> [email protected] >> -- >> Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. >> >> > >> > > -- > Von meinen Mobilgerät aus gesendet -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
