Issue #19888 has been reported by waiting_for_dev (Marc Busqué). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19888: Can't change binding of a Proc coerced from a Method https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19888 * Author: waiting_for_dev (Marc Busqué) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- `instance_exec` or `instance_eval` can execute a given `Proc` in the context of the receiver. However, that's not true when the `Proc` has been coerced from a `Method`. In that situation, the binding is always tied to the original instance. ```ruby class A def foo "from A" end end class B def foo "from B" end end A.new.instance_exec(&-> { foo }) # => from A A.new.instance_exec(&B.new.method(:foo)) # => from B A.new.instance_exec(&B.new.method(:foo).to_proc) # => from B ``` At first sight, that looks like a bug, as the transformation from `Method` to `Proc` is not complete. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
