How to access a attributes from the parent class?

Ruby
1

I am new to ruby and try to figure out how inheritance works.
I don’t get the result I expect. I marked the line of code with
“#error”.
What do I need to do to get it to work?

class WacFrames
  attr_reader :wacFrameNav
  attr_reader :wacFrameDisp
  def initialize()
  	@wacFrameNav = "nav"
 	@wacFrameDisp = "disp"
  end
end

class WacSubscribers
  attr_reader :fr
  attr_reader :frame
  def initialize()
@fr = WacFrames.new()
@frame = @fr.wacFrameNav
  end
end

class WacSubProfile < WacSubscribers
  def initialize()
#some code
  end
  end
end

another = WacSubscribers.new()
puts another.fr	#works fine
puts another.frame	#works fine

test = WacSubProfile.new()
puts test.fr		#error
puts test.frame	#error

Thanks

An extra ‘end’ there but I assume it is just a copy-paste error.

another = WacSubscribers.new()
puts another.fr	#works fine
puts another.frame	#works fine

test = WacSubProfile.new()
puts test.fr		#error
puts test.frame	#error

This should work fine (you might have problems if you
do not initialize the parent’s instance variables by
calling #super but even still the methods should return
nils).

What error is it that you get?
