Redefined Accessors
Posted by matijs 10/12/2010 at 09h29
If you’re going to do this:
<typo:code lang=“ruby”> def foo= f @foo = f + “ bar” end </typo:code>
Then don’t first do this:
<typo:code lang=“ruby”> attr_accessor :foo </typo:code>
But instead do this:
<typo:code lang=“ruby”> attr_reader :foo </typo:code>
That way, there won’t be “method redefined” warnings all over the place.
Let’s make this more general: Before you release your gem, make sure it runs without warnings. They should stick out like a sore thumb when you run your tests, anyway.
Thanks.
