Overview

The DidYouMean gem adds functionality to suggest possible method/class names upon errors such as NameError and NoMethodError. In Ruby 2.3 or later, it is automatically activated during startup.

Disabling did_you_mean

Occasionally, you may want to disable the did_you_mean gem for e.g. debugging issues in the error object itself. You can disable it entirely by specifying --disable-did_you_mean option to the ruby command:

$ ruby --disable-did_you_mean -e "1.zeor?"
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined method `zeor?' for 1:Integer (NameError)

When you do not have direct access to the ruby command (e.g. rails console, irb), you could applyoptions using the RUBYOPT environment variable:

$ RUBYOPT='--disable-did_you_mean' irb
irb:0> 1.zeor?
# => NoMethodError (undefined method `zeor?' for 1:Integer)

Getting the original error message

Sometimes, you do not want to disable the gem entirely, but need to get the original error message without suggestions (e.g. testing). In this case, you could use the #original_message method on the error object:

no_method_error = begin
                    1.zeor?
                  rescue NoMethodError => error
                    error
                  end

no_method_error.message
# => NoMethodError (undefined method `zeor?' for 1:Integer)
#    Did you mean?  zero?

no_method_error.original_message
# => NoMethodError (undefined method `zeor?' for 1:Integer)

Examples:


methosd
# => NameError: undefined local variable or method `methosd' for main:Object
#   Did you mean?  methods
#                  method

OBject
# => NameError: uninitialized constant OBject
#    Did you mean?  Object

@full_name = "Yuki Nishijima"
first_name, last_name = full_name.split(" ")
# => NameError: undefined local variable or method `full_name' for main:Object
#    Did you mean?  @full_name

@@full_name = "Yuki Nishijima"
@@full_anme
# => NameError: uninitialized class variable @@full_anme in Object
#    Did you mean?  @@full_name

full_name = "Yuki Nishijima"
full_name.starts_with?("Y")
# => NoMethodError: undefined method `starts_with?' for "Yuki Nishijima":String
#    Did you mean?  start_with?

hash = {foo: 1, bar: 2, baz: 3}
hash.fetch(:fooo)
# => KeyError: key not found: :fooo
#    Did you mean?  :foo
