can't override instance methods with Inheritance

[masciugo]

in my use case I have several Her model so I created the following super class

  class HerModel
    include Her::JsonApi::Model

    def created_at
      @created_at ||= Time.zone.parse(super)
    end

  end

and classes like this

class CollectorContent < HerModel
  use_api COLLECTOR_CONTENTS_WS_API
  collection_path "collector/:collector_id/collector_contents"
  type :collector_contents
end

In order to have the CollectorContent created_at attribute overridden I need to define it in every child class:

class CollectorContent < HerModel
  use_api COLLECTOR_CONTENTS_WS_API
  collection_path "collector/:collector_id/collector_contents"
  type :collector_contents

  def created_at
    @created_at ||= Time.zone.parse(super)
  end

end

am I missing anything?

faced with the same situation, is there any information?

[edtjones]

@masciugo @evgeniy-kunitsa is this peculiar to the created_at attribute, or any attribute you define in the base class?

Does it work if you define it in a mixin instead?

[evgeniy-kunitsa]

@edtjones, no, in my case I have base class:

module Api
 class Organization
   include Her::Model

   def suborganizations
     @suborganizations ||= self[:suborganizations].map { |org| Organization.new(org) }
   end
 end
end

And child class:

module External
  class Organization < Api::Organization
  end
end

I try to do smth like this:

Api::Organization.new(suborganizations: [{ uid: 123123 }]).suborganizations
=> [#<Api::Organization(organizations) uid=123123>]

External::Organization.new(suborganizations: [{ uid: 123123 }]).suborganizations
=> [{"uid"=>123123}]

Why in second case I got an array of hashes instead of array of organizations?

FYI: ruby 2.5.3, rails 5.2.2
