"Super from singleton method that is defined to multiple classes is not supported"

Question

I'm trying to use the Steam Condenser library with Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.

I have the following code:

require "steam/servers/source_server" 

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    server = SourceServer.new(IPAddr.new("127.0.0.1"), 2000)
    server.init

    @m = server.get_players
  end
end

but for some reason it throws:

super from singleton method that is defined to multiple classes is not supported; this will be fixed in 1.9.3 or later

... on line 5: server = SourceServer.new(IPAddr.new("127.0.0.1"), 2000).

How to fix this?

Answer 1

I'm the creator of Steam Condenser.

This is a shortcoming of Ruby 1.9.2 (as mentioned in the error message). There's already a workaround for this issue.

A real fix (eliminating the unusual Ruby code) will be made soon.
