NameError

Raised when a given name is invalid or undefined.

puts foo

raises the exception:

NameError: undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object

Since constant names must start with a capital:

Integer.const_set :answer, 42

raises the exception:

NameError: wrong constant name answer

Public Class Methods

new(msg [, name]) → name_error click to toggle source

new(msg [, name], receiver:) → name_error

Construct a new NameError exception. If given the name parameter may subsequently be examined using the NameError#name method.

 static VALUE
name_err_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
 ID keywords[1];
 VALUE values[numberof(keywords)], name, options;
 argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "*:", NULL, &options);
 keywords[0] = id_receiver;
 rb_get_kwargs(options, keywords, 0, numberof(values), values);
 name = (argc > 1) ? argv[--argc] : Qnil;
 rb_call_super(argc, argv);
 name_err_init_attr(self, values[0], name);
 return self;
}

Public Instance Methods

local_variables → array click to toggle source

Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.

Internal use only.

 static VALUE
name_err_local_variables(VALUE self)
{
 VALUE vars = rb_attr_get(self, id_local_variables);
 if (NIL_P(vars)) {
 VALUE iseqw = rb_attr_get(self, id_iseq);
 if (!NIL_P(iseqw)) vars = rb_iseqw_local_variables(iseqw);
 if (NIL_P(vars)) vars = rb_ary_new();
 rb_ivar_set(self, id_local_variables, vars);
 }
 return vars;
}

name → string or nil click to toggle source

Return the name associated with this NameError exception.

 static VALUE
name_err_name(VALUE self)
{
 return rb_attr_get(self, id_name);
}

receiver → object click to toggle source

Return the receiver associated with this NameError exception.

 static VALUE
name_err_receiver(VALUE self)
{
 VALUE *ptr, recv, mesg;
 recv = rb_ivar_lookup(self, id_recv, Qundef);
 if (recv != Qundef) return recv;
 mesg = rb_attr_get(self, id_mesg);
 if (!rb_typeddata_is_kind_of(mesg, &name_err_mesg_data_type)) {
 rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "no receiver is available");
 }
 ptr = DATA_PTR(mesg);
 return ptr[NAME_ERR_MESG__RECV];
}
