[MacRuby-devel] NSPasteboard instance missing methods?

[Laurent Sansonetti]

By default #methods and friends do not return Objective-C selectors (especially since a lot of ruby libraries are using this and cannot handle objc-style selectors), but you can get them by passing the second argument as true.

$ /usr/local/bin/macirb
irb(main):001:0> framework 'Cocoa'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> NSTableView.new.methods
=> [:load_bridge_support_file, :Complex, :Rational, :enum_for, :to_enum, :object_id, :__id__, :define_singleton_method, :public_method, :method, :extend, :respond_to_missing?, :respond_to?, :public_send, :send, :__send__, :instance_exec, :instance_eval, :__callee__, :__method__, :tap, :is_a?, :kind_of?, :instance_of?, :instance_variable_defined?, :instance_variable_set, :instance_variable_get, :instance_variables, :public_methods, :private_methods, :protected_methods, :singleton_methods, :methods, :inspect, :to_s, :untrusted?, :untrust, :trust, :frozen?, :freeze, :untaint, :tainted?, :taint, :__type__, :dup, :clone, :eql?, :!~, :=~, :===, :nil?, :!=, :!, :equal?, :==]
irb(main):003:0> NSTableView.new.methods(true,true)
=> [:"validateProposedFirstResponder:forEvent:", :controlTextDidEndEditing, :_shouldSetObjectValueOnCellsForAnimations, :"moveRowsInRange:toIndex:", :"prepareDraggingDestinationView:forRowIndexes:draggingStyle:", :cacheReusableView, :addDropBetweenFeedbackViewsForRow, :defaultOwner, :"associateView:withColumn:", :rowData, :_nextGroupRowFromRow, :"_shouldFloatRow:inVisibleRange:", :"_delegate_viewForTableColumn:row:", :_delegateRowViewForRow, :addDropOnFeedbackViewsForRow, :"_backgroundImageForRow:withFrame:", :shouldUseViews, :_validateHitTest, :setDraggedColumnView, :_isInDesignMode, :addDropFeedbackViews, :removeDropFeedbackViewsFromOldRow, :archivedReusableViews, :_headerViewDraggedDistance, :draggedColumnView, :"_updateCellInView:atRow:column:", :makeRowViewForRow, :isDropTargetRow, :"makeViewForTableColumn:row:", :isViewBased, :_needsBackgroundToAnimate, :_backgroundImageWithFrame, :_needsBackgroundImageForAnimation, :_mutableSelectedRows, :_adjustFieldEditorAnimated, :_setTrackingAreasDirty, :hiddenRowIndexes, :"_addDraggingDestinationViewForRowIndexes:draggingStyle:", :_rowForView, :_showContextualMenuForEvent, :_shouldShowContextMenuForEvent, :_rowViewDrawsHorizontalGrid, ........]
