In Ruby, why is it not enough to alias `method_missing` to catch call to undefined methods?
In Ruby, why is it not enough to alias `method_missing` to catch call to undefined methods?
That seems all the more unexpected when defining a dummy method passing all arguments do the job. That is the following works:
def method_missing(ago, *lokatoj, &bloko)
mistrafe(ago, *lokatoj, &bloko)
end
def mistrafe(ago, *lokatoj, &bloko)
# faru ion
end
While the following doen't
alias mistrafe method_missing
Why is that so?

alias mistrafe method_missing
does not work because the syntax of alias
is:
alias mistrafe method_missing
alias
alias OLD_NAME NEW_NAME
That said, the following will work:
alias method_missing mistrafe
