ruby - Why is `instance_eval`/`class_eval` not able to access class variables? -
class myself @@name = 'jonathan' def self.name @@name end end myself.instance_eval {@@name} myself.class_eval {@@name} both throw:
nameerror: uninitialized class variable @@collection in object but
myself.instance_eval {name} myself.class_eval {name} both work.
how can access static var @@name instance_eval/class_eval, or how can assign value outside class?
the error thrown because myself.instance_eval('@@name') correctly throws error. not instance variable, it's class variable. you'll want have myself.class_eval('@@name') on it's own, , it'll work.
check repl here: https://repl.it/be0u/0
to set class variable, use class_variable_set so:
myself.class_variable_set('@@name', 'graham')
