'Method not found' for private methods when using enh-ruby-mode

[RAbraham]

Hi,
robe-jump works for for jumping to methods on other classes but when I do it on a private method, it shows all Modules which may have the method but not the private method?

[dgutov]

Works for me. Could you give an example?

Are you trying to jump to a private method in a different class?

[RAbraham]

Nope, private method in the same class. I am in the process of creating a sample rails project and testing it in a simple setting.

When closing issues, you might want to leave a mention of what your actual problem was, or what made you think there was a problem.

[RAbraham]

Sorry, I am evaluating another IDE for a month now, so I won't have time to follow up on this but the problem still exists for me. I didn't want to keep the ticket open indefinitely. My bad.
Should I reopen it or keep it closed?

[dgutov]

Ah no, it's a good enough explanation. Please only reopen this when you have more details.

Good luck with that other editor.

[RAbraham]

Thank you for being supportive :). People like you and bbatsov make great packages for Emacs

Hi,

I'm seeing the same behavior. Jumping to public methods works fine. The following does not (rails 4.2.5, ruby 2.3.0):

class TestModel < ActiveRecord::Base

  def baz
    foo # M-. here properly takes us to `foo`.
  end

  def foo
    bar # M-. says "Method not found"
  end

  private # If I remove this line and C-c C-k we can find `bar`.

  def bar # M-. here even says "Method not found"
    'hello world'
  end
end

robe version:

robe is an installed package.

@ledbettj Hi!

This works fine for me. I've just tried it in a new rails 4.2.5/ruby 2.3.0 project.

Have you tried pressing C-c C-k without removing private? Does navigation to bar start working then?

If not, please put the cursor inside the foo definition (on the bar call, line 7) and evaluate (M-:) this expression: (robe-context). What does it return?

Which version of Emacs are you using?

[ledbettj]

Thanks for the response! C-c C-k without removing private has no effect.

(robe-context) on the bar call returns:

("TestModel" nil nil)

Emacs Version:

GNU Emacs 25.0.93.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0, NS appkit-1404.46 Version 10.11.4 (Build 15E65)) of 2016-04-25

Let me know if there's any other info that might be useful.

[dgutov]

Thanks. The result is wrong, it should be ("TestModel" t "foo").

Do you by any chance have the "alternative" ruby-mode package installed through ELPA? Please remove it.

[ledbettj]

That was it -- I use enh-ruby-mode instead of the default ruby-mode. Switching back to ruby-mode fixes.

[dgutov]

Hmm, that's a surprise. I didn't expect it to be the source of the problem.

I've filed an issue there.

[zenspider]

This might be fixed over in enh-ruby-mode... Try against latest.

[dgutov]

It's improved, and it'll probably fix the example by @ledbettj. But see my comment in the linked issue.

I've pushed a change to robe now that will allow it to use enh-ruby-add-log-current-method.
