How do I call a super class method
In Ruby 2.2, you can use Method#super_method
now
For example:
class B < A def foo super + " world" end def bar method(:foo).super_method.call endend
Ref: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9781#change-48164 and https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/5356938
In this particular case you can just alias :bar :foo
before def foo
in class B
to rename the old foo
to bar
, but of course you can alias to any name you like and call it from that. This question has some alternative ways to do it further down the inheritance tree.
