Extend model, crash oxidized

[marmack95]

Hello, i'm trying to extend a model, but it does not work.

require 'oxidized/model/comware.rb'

class CustomHP
  using Refinements

  cmd 'save force' do |cfg|
    comment cfg
  end

end

That's the result:

2024-04-10 14:53:14 UTC
undefined method `cmd' for CustomHP:Class [NoMethodError]

If i compare with documentation: https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/docs/Creating-Models.md
or this issue: #3017
All seems ok, but it does not work.

I use docker version (tested with the last version and version 0.29.1 of april 2023)

The documentation is not correct. I found the solution by adding the name of the require class as someone do it here: #2579.

require 'oxidized/model/comware.rb'

class CustomHP < Comware
...

It's works now.

Document is extending an existing class, you are creating a new class, subclassing existing class. These are two different things. This is technically not oxidized question at all, but rather ruby question.

Usually all model classes are subclasses of Oxidized::Model, this is why custom methods like cmd work. If we don't subclass existing class, and we define entirely new class, of course there will be no Oxidized specific methods available.
