"args" question

[rellik]

Sorry for all the questions.. Hopefully they will help you in
testing, and other users as documentation :)

Can you explain the use of the option "args"? It seems to be the
return value of the method that is after'ed. Is that right?

Hi Patrick,

  No worries... We are expecting lots of questions since this thing is new and
  we for sure haven't thought of all the cases...
 
  There are two cases here:

  1) The before call -- The signature goes as follows

   MyClass.before( :feature => :blee ) do | ctx, feature, *args|
      ....
   end

   where

   class MyClass
     def blee( arg1, arg2 )
        arg1
     end
   end

   When your moled block is called your will get

   ctx       => MyClass instance
   feature => :blee
   args     => [arg1, arg2]

  2) The after case - The signature goes as follows

  MyClass.after( :feature => :blee ) do |ctx, feature, ret_val, *arg|
    ....
  end

   When your moled block is called your will get

   ctx        => MyClass instance
   feature  => :blee,
   ret_val  => arg1
   args      => [arg1, arg2]

   Does this helps ? I am in the mist of reving the mole and updating the beast sample as well as the readme, docs and tests.

  Hopefully things will be clearer...

Thanks for your patience !!

Thanks for the info. You might change the API for after(), since it
currently has the following example:

MyClass.after( :feature => :blee ) do |context, feature, args,
block|
Mole::DbMole.mole_it( context, feature, context.session[:user_id],
:args => args )
end

Sorry again for the confusion...
