The Warning
module contains a single method named warn
, and the module extends itself, making Warning.warn
available. Warning.warn
is called for all warnings issued by Ruby. By default, warnings are printed to $stderr.
By overriding Warning.warn
, you can change how warnings are handled by Ruby, either filtering some warnings, and/or outputting warnings somewhere other than $stderr. When Warning.warn
is overridden, super can be called to get the default behavior of printing the warning to $stderr.
