I'm looking at code in a project. I have no clue what is being passed

def read_authorized?(resource)

resource.user_read_authorized? current_user
else
true
end
end
Is there any kind of debugging feature I can run to see what gets
passed
into resource in this specific instance.
Also, user_read_authorized? is not defined anywhere else in
application.
Is that legal in rails? Can someone just define :user_read_authorized?
and it mean something?
Thanks for any suggestions
As to the second part of your question, it is perfectly "legal" to
define your own method names and the behavior that you expect. In this
case, it seems like a resource (probably a model) is presumed to be
readable (true) unless the resource has defined its
own :user_read_authorized? method that takes a user and supplies a
particular answer (and if a login has not been required, current_user
might be false).
Shame on you if your method names don't make sense, of course. ;-)
