Summary: Interactions "No Method" Error Message
Initial Comment:
When the current interactions pre-processor (as of
beta-20030701) cannot find a method Y in class X, it
prints this message:
Error: No 'Y' method in 'X'
However, this message can be misleading if the reason
the pre-processor cannot find the method is because of
the type of its arguments. Take this simple
interaction, for example:
> System.exit();
Error: No 'exit' method in 'java.lang.System'
The pre-processor should check whether a method exists
with different arguments than given before printing
this message. If a method or methods with this name is
found, a different error message should be produced,
highlighting the argument mismatch. Perhaps the error
message could print the signatures of potentially
matching methods with the given name, up to a limit of
a few lines of output.
