Bug #4179: OpenStruct#method_missing handles #[]= wrongly

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 1.9.3
• ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]

[caius (Caius Durling)]

=begin

Code to reproduce:

 require "ostruct"
 OpenStruct.new[:foo] = true

Expected

NoMethodError to be raised, as OpenStruct#[]= is not a defined method.

Actual

wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) (ArgumentError)

Notes

I wrote a test case to check that it would raise NoMethodError when you call OpenStruct#[]=, and then amended OpenStruct#method_missing to fix the bug. Patch attached with both test case (including a check that OpenStruct#[] raises a NoMethodError too) and the fix in it.

Erm, not quite sure why reloading the redmine page triggered another notification about the ticket to be sent to the list. Apologies about that.

Thanks for the patch.
It was modified so that:

• s[] also raises an error
• s[1]=2 states that "[]=" is the missing method (not "[]")
