[MacRuby-devel] Objective-C class +initialize in MacRuby

[Matt Aimonetti]

$ macruby -e "class Foo; def initialize; puts '10/10/10'; end; end;
Foo.new"
10/10/10


The problem in your example is that in Ruby, the constructor is an instance
method, not a class method.
So your mistake was to define self.initialize instead of just initialize.

  class Foo
     def initialize
       puts "initialize is a haaaapy panda"
     end
   end

Foo.new
