Instantiating multiple Cows with a specific cowfile

[thibaultcha]

Hi,

If you run this program:

Cow.new({ :cow => "vader" }).say("Hi")   #prints vader
Cow.new({ :cow => "default" }).say("Hi") #prints default
Cow.new({ :cow => "vader" }).say("Hi")   #prints default
Cow.new({ :cow => "koala" }).say("Hi")   #prints koala
Cow.new({ :cow => "default" }).say("Hi") #prints koala

You will notice that the output is wrong. Instantiating a Cow with a template for the first time is fine. But instantiating a Cow using another template, and then back to the first template, it doesn't work.

I am a very beginner in Ruby but I think this has to do with the class_eval you are doing in initialize.

I noticed this by building a small program that randomly selects a cow type at some point.

Good catch. I'll admit, this whole thing is pretty gangster and could use some refactoring/updating especially for Ruby 2+. Instead of doing a class_eval, it should probably load the template per-instance of the cow.

You want to take a stab at fixing it? Otherwise I'll try to take care of this later this week or something.

Don't have time these days, probably end of the week. Whoever fix it first it's ok \o/
