MacRuby custom initializers

Just opened MacRuby this afternoon; man is ever GOOD! However, I ran into some difficulties while trying to extend an old project with MacRuby-fu. Here's the deal:

So I have a superclass in Objective-C that looks like this:

@implementation Foo
- (id) init {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        //Do nothing, don't have enough data...
    }
    return self;
}

- (id) initWithName:(NSString*)n  andLocation:(NSString*)loc  andSomethingElse:(Bar*)b {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        //Set a LOT of internal state...
    }
    return self;
}
@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

So, in the ruby ​​file, we'll name it Mung.rb, which looks like this:

class Mung < Foo
    def initWithSomethingElse(else, andEvenMore:more)
        super.initWithName("Moop", andLocation:else, andSomethingElse:more.addVal(42))
        self
    end
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I go to the Mung instance (myObj = Mung.alloc.initWithSomethingElse ("Boo", andEvenMore: "US"), the runtime explodes telling me that there is no method called initWithSomethingElse.true in Mung super, but that means I cannot define custom initializers in ruby ​​files. My current workaround is to provide a uniform initializer that accepts a hash and then separate subclasses parse the hash as needed. I don't like this approach and would like to: A. Explanation of that why is "initWithSomethingElse" ever called super, and B. If no direct solution can be applied, there is an alternative workaround. Thanks guys!
