Inconsistency between MRI and JRuby when private methods are called and method_missing is present #540
Description
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
class Foo
def method_missing name
super
end
private
def foo
'foo'
end
end
Foo.new.foothis code will generate an exception with different messages under MRI and JRuby.
MRI:
/home/jvshahid/foo.rb:4:in `method_missing': private method `foo' called for #<Foo:0x00000001eed260> (NoMethodError)
from /home/jvshahid/foo.rb:14:in `<main>'
JRuby:
NoMethodError: undefined method `foo' for #<Foo:0x64e137c0>
method_missing at org/jruby/RubyBasicObject.java:1652
method_missing at /home/jvshahid/foo.rb:4
(root) at /home/jvshahid/foo.rb:12
Notice that JRuby's exception doesn't mention that the method we're trying to access is private. This cause three specs to fail in rails since unfortunately they rely on the wording of the exception.
