Hi folks,
why does this warning come up?
What might be wrong with my code?
It comes up on the line where the respective methods are defined.
Thanx a lot,
Juergen
Hi –

The warning (“discarding old ”) comes up when you discard an
old method 
It basically means that you’ve overridden a method without saving
a path to the old version of the method.
For example:
class String
def split; end
end
However, if you do this:
class String
alias :oldsplit :split
def split; end
end
the old method is still available (as oldsplit), so it has not
been discarded and there’s no warning.
