Kernel#__method__

Ruby JRuby

Hi all,

it seems that Kernel#method is not implemented in jruby.

irb(main):001:0> method
NameError: undefined local variable or method `method’ for
main:Object

Am I missing something?

Thanks.
Andrea

method is a feature from Ruby 1.9

You’ll need to run JRuby in 1.9 compatible mode. It defaults to Ruby 1.8
syntax.

→ jruby --1.9 -S irb
irb(main):001:0> method
=> :irb_binding
irb(main:002:0>

Blessings,
TwP

Hi Tim,

it seems that the feature is present since 1.8.7:

andrea@ganimoide:~/src$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]
andrea@ganimoide:~/src/johnson-ffi-stable$ irb

method
=> :irb_binding

I think we’re going to flip the switch on 1.8.7 for JRuby 1.4, since
most of it is there (because of 1.9 support) and we’re getting more and
more people asking about those missing features.

compatibility and skips 1.8.7 altogether (at least for now).
