Ruby not selecting correct overloaded method...

Question

Hey,

Ive got a simple Nunit runner for a rake script i have:

module NUnitRunner

    @NUnitPath = "#{RootDir}/tools/nunit/nunit-console.exe";

    def self.RunTests(testFile)
        system("\"#{@NUnitPath}\" ? \"#{testFile}\"")
    end

    def self.RunTests(testFile, runArgs)
        system("\"#{@NUnitPath}\" ? \"#{testFile}\" #{runArgs}")
    end

end

When im calling this module from within my task:

# Run Unit Tests
task :run_unit_tests do
    puts "Running Unit Tests"

    unitTestFile = "#{RootDir}/src/tests/unittests.dll"
    NUnitRunner.RunTests(unitTestFile)
end

It just keeps telling me "wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)", and if i remove the overloaded method which takes 2 arguments it works fine, so is there some quirk with ruby that i dont know about in this instance?

Answer 1

Ruby doesn't support method overloading.
