#726: Methods added to String do not get added to all strings ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dylan@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by martinlagardette@…): * milestone: MacRuby 0.6 => Comment: Hi! This is because of the way strings are implemented within MacRuby. If you look at the result of this command: {{{ macruby -e 'p String.ancestors' [String, NSMutableString, NSString, Comparable, NSObject, Kernel] }}} You can see that `String` is defined on top of of `NSMutableString`, which is why defining a method on `String` won't define it on `NSMutableString` or `NSString`. In your example, if you replace "`class String`" by "`class NSString`", then it will work as expected: {{{ String Bacon! String Bacon! }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/726#comment:1> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
