Static Undefined Method

[tobymao]

The static method only seems to work if a super class defines it.

For example,
Views:: Base
def main
end

Views::Layouts::Page < Views::Base
static :main
static :intro

def main
end

def intro
end

This will result in undefined method `intro'

I see, that it works if static is called after the definition. Maybe I was just using this feature incorrectly.

That’s correct; the method does have to be defined before you can invoke static on it.

I’m actively writing documentation for Fortitude these days, and this will definitely be one of the things I will include in it. (In fact, I’m just impressed you got that feature working at all with no documentation whatsoever!)

Reopening this until I can improve it, at least a little. At bare minimum, I could add more detail to the error message saying that static declarations need to go after the method definition, not before it…
