Def puts super end puts 1 2 3 this method defined outside of any class will belong to object. It will pass along the arguments used for the original method call to the new one including keyword arguments a block if given.

We can add parentheses to the super keyword. When method definition accepts keyword arguments as the last argument. Ruby 2 7 news has listed the spec of keyword arguments for ruby 3 0. The ruby super keyword behaves differently when used with or without arguments.

We will take the examples mentioned there and for each scenario we will look into how we can fix them in the existing codebase. Again to achieve similar behavior in ruby 1 9 the block would take an options hash from which we would extract argument values.
