Module: Kernel

Defined in:
lib/ae/basic_object.rb,
lib/ae/pry.rb,
lib/ae/core_ext/helpers.rb

Overview

Since Ruby is very dynamic, methods added to the ancestors of BlankSlate after BlankSlate is defined will show up in the list of available BlankSlate methods. We handle this by defining a hook in the Object and Kernel classes that will hide any method defined after BlankSlate has been loaded.

Defined Under Namespace

Classes: Pry

#pryPry

Pry allows you to test private and protected methods thru a public-only interface.

Generally one should avoid testing private and protected methods directly, instead relying on tests of public methods to indirectly test them, because private and protected methods are considered implementation details. But sometimes it is necessary to test them directly, or if you wish to achieve *absolute coverage*, say in a mission critical system.

Returns:

  • (Pry)
