method
undef_method
ruby latest stable - Class:
Module
undef_method(*args)public
Prevents the current class from responding to calls to the named method. Contrast this with remove_method, which deletes the method from the particular class; Ruby will still search superclasses and mixed-in modules for a possible receiver. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Parent def hello puts "In parent" end end class Child < Parent def hello puts "In child" end end c = Child.new c.hello class Child remove_method :hello # remove from child, still in parent end c.hello class Child undef_method :hello # prevent any calls to 'hello' end c.hello
produces:
In child In parent prog.rb:23: undefined method `hello' for #<Child:0x401b3bb4> (NoMethodError)
