Question

I have a module called Plants which has a const_missing method and a class called Sunflower inside it. When I call an undefined constant, the const_missing method inside the module is not called. Instead the const_missing inside the Object class is called. Is there a way to get the const_missing inside the module to be triggered?

module Plants
        def self.const_missing(name)
                puts name
        end

        class Sunflower
                def some_method
                        Grass
                end
        end
end


obj = Plants::Sunflower.new
obj.some_method

Thanks in advance! 🙂

module Plants

  def const_missing(name)
    puts name
  end

  class Sunflower
    extend Plants
    def some_method
      Grass
    end
  end
end
