Error while passing argument list to Superclass-CodePudding

Sorry if the question is unclear as I'm new to Ruby. I have a Parent class (not implemented by me) Reports that has a method query defined as:

class Reports

      def self.query(id:, is_active: false, is_timestamp: false, version: DEFAULT_VERSION, limit: DEFAULT_LIMIT)
    
         <<code>>
end

I have defined a child class Report that inherits Reports and defined the same method query as below:

class Report < Reports

    def self.q_version(id)
           <<some logic to decide version>>
    end
    def self.query(id:, is_active: false, is_timestamp: false, limit: DEFAULT_LIMIT)
        version = q_version(id)
        super(id, is_active, is_timestamp, version, limit)
    end

Now when I run the code, I'm getting an argument error as such:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 5, expected 0; required keyword: id)

I suspect I'm not doing the super call correctly but couldn't figure out which part.

so any help would be appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

The method's signature tells that it expects keyword arguments like this:

def self.query(id:, is_active: false, is_timestamp: false, limit: DEFAULT_LIMIT)
  version = q_version(id)
    
  super(id: id, is_active: is_active, is_timestamp: is_timestamp, version: version, limit: limit)
end

Or you could use the new shorthand hash syntax when you are on Ruby 3.1 :

def self.query(id:, is_active: false, is_timestamp: false, limit: DEFAULT_LIMIT)
  version = q_version(id)
    
  super(id:, is_active:, is_timestamp:, version:, limit:)
end
