Method invocation from parent class

Hi All,

I have a code:

class ClassA
def method1()
puts("From method1 of ClassA")
end
def method2()
puts("From method2 of ClassA")
method1() // <---- Here is the problem, I would like to call method1 from the same ClassA, although it is applied to instance of ClassB!
end
end

class ClassB < ClassA
def method1()
puts("From method1 of ClassB")
end
def method2()
super()
puts("From method2 of ClassB")
end
end

b = ClassB.new()
b.method2()

which produces:

From method2 of ClassA
From method1 of ClassB
From method2 of ClassB

Now, the most important, is that in method2 of ClassA the method1 is called and it is taken from ClassB but I need it from ClassA, i.e. I need the output like this:

From method2 of ClassA
From method1 of ClassA
From method2 of ClassB

How can I implement this?

Thank you!

You can achieve it via

    def method2
      ClassA.instance_method(:method1).bind(self).call
    end

But there obviously something wrong with your design so I suggest you
fix it instead of using something like code above.

If you don't want your method to be overridden then just don't.
Do something like:

    class A
      def method1
        some_private_method
      end

      def method2
        puts 'A#method2'
        some_private_method
      end

      private

      def some_private_method
        puts 'whatever'
      end
    end

    class B < A
      def method1
        puts 'B#method1'
      end
    end

   B.new.method2

BTW, instead of `ClassA.instance_method(:method1)` you can do: `method(:method1).super_method.call`

I agree. This is suspicious. For this discussion it would be helpful
if methods are a bit more concrete than "method1" and "method2". We
might be able to come up with much better advice if we knew the real
scenario.

Kind regards
