Forum: Ruby Dynamic Monkey patching of getter / setter methods?

Hello folks,

I'm playing around with dynamic monkey-patching of methods. However, I
run into syntax errors of my generated code:
ruby monkey.rb
Two: unpatched
---
Patched test_two called
Two: patched
monkey.rb:12:in `catch_method': (eval):4:in `catch_method': compile
error (SyntaxError)
(eval):3: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting '='
         old_test_attribute=(*args,&block)
                                   ^
  from monkey.rb:33

Do you know a way for dynamic monkey-patching of getter / setter 
methods?

Try using send:

send(:foo=, *args, &block)
