understand self for attr_accessor class method

Question

class Test
  class << self
    attr_accessor :some

    def set_some
      puts self.inspect
      some = \'some_data\'
    end
    def get_some
      puts sel         


        

Answer 1

some = :foo makes ruby think it should create a new local variable with name some. If you want to call some=(), you have to use an explicit reciever - as in self.some = :foo. I once lost a bet on that... :-/
