Constructor Details

.new(msg = nil, name = nil, args = nil, private = false, receiver: nil) ⇒ no_method_error

Construct a NoMethodError exception for a method of the given name called with the given arguments. The name may be accessed using the #name method on the resulting object, and the arguments using the #args method.
