I am trying to access top level method from the class definition in IronRuby scripts. Example:
def global_hi
puts "hi"
end
class A
def hi
global_hi
end
end
A.new.hi
The script executed in ScriptEngine throws a NoSuchMethodError. I tried to ran the same code in iirb.bat It seems to behave the way I expected, which calls global_hi method correctly. But when I tried it in ir.exe, it throws the exception as well.
I investigated a little more and found out in iirb:
irb(main):021:0> self.method(:global_hi)
=> #<Method: Object#global_hi>
and in ir.exe as well as script engine
>>> self.method(:global_hi)
=> #<Method: Object(#<Class:#<Object:0x0000058>>)#xx>
I know there is some difference between iirb and ir but not sure the logic behind them. Is there anyway to make the script behave like the one in iirb.exe?
Thanks!
