Hi David, First, thanks for the suggestion. I like that better.
Second, my motivation for doing this was born out of not being able to do something I wanted to do in Remarkable. However, as I was trying to explain what it was I wanted to do, I just discovered how to do it in Remarkable. So, the immediate need for knowing how to call a private method is no longer valid, but I would like to go ahead and explain what I was trying to do to see if it is actually possible. I still have custom macros that I might need to refactor at some point. Here is the relevant code example: http://gist.github.com/266873 [By the way, I didn't intend for the gist to be formatted quite like that. I am fond of 4 character tabs, but I realize that most people in the ruby community use 2 spaces, so I copied the code to a new textmate window, reformatted it, then copied and pasted into the gist. But it still come out like that, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do.] I was attempting to create my own should_set_session so I could use values from instance variables. I didn't see how to do that in Remarkable until just a few minutes ago. It can be accomplished by using :to => proc { @user.id }. I was experimenting with where to call get_value_from_options from. When I try inside the "it", I get the NoMethodError. When I call it from outside of the it, get_value_from_options gets called, but then I don't get the instance variable like I expect. I believe I understand why that is, though. The instance var is created in the before, which is more or less an it, so it has the same scope. So when called from outside of the it, there is no instance var @user. So my question now is simply: Can I even do what I want to do?
