$VERBOSE=nil or remove method first by using remove_method.

Thank you for your help.

I would like to keep the warnings on, so I don't see $VERBOSE=nil as a
viable option.

remove_method works for me except when I need to call the super method
in the new definition.

Is there another way to get rid of the warning or to use remove_method
and still be able to use the super method?

Hi,

warning and remove_method are not related with super. IIRC, warning
was caused when you replace an existing method without making any
alias to the original.

  class Foo
    def foo
      p :foo
    end
  end
  class Bar < Foo
    def foo
    end
    # warning
    def foo
    end
    # remove foo in Bar
    remove_method :foo
    # no warning
    def foo
      super # calls foo in Foo
    end
  end
  Bar.new.foo

              matz.
