unexpected tIDENTIFIER with keyword argument

Question

I need to create a method with a keyword argument, but I'm having some trouble. At the moment I have:

my_method(option_key:, location, options = {})

but I get the error:

syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER (SyntaxError)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be great.

Answer 1

Move the keyword args to the last position of the arguments list:

def my_method(location, options = {}, option_key:) 
end
