But that includes Gem::UserInteraction
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/rubygems/user_interaction.rb
which gives you self.ui, and self.ui= from DefaultUserInteraction,
so that you get
module UserInteraction
include DefaultUserInteraction
[:alert,
:alert_error,
:alert_warning,
:ask,
:ask_yes_no,
:choose_from_list,
:say,
:terminate_interaction ].each do |methname|
class_eval %{
def #{methname}(*args)
ui.#{methname}(*args)
end
}, __FILE__, __LINE__
end
end
So, my quick reading of this is that it will self.ui.send(:ask,...)
[and so forth] to you, so you can intercept all this stuff. Or
am I reading this way too quickly?
I've not looked in the code for a while, so could be talking utter
piffle. :-)
