Hi Stefan,
If you create the method definition like this:
Test {
*someTest {arg in; ^in*5}
}
you've created a classmethod which you can run with:
Test.someTest(10) //returns 50
If you want to use an instance method you need to create an instance
of Test:
a = Test.new; //create an instance of Test
Then you can use the method for that object:
a.someTest(10) //returns 50
The reason that the example you posted doesn't work is that the number
10 is in fact an instance of Integer ( 10.class.postln ), not an
instance of Test. This gives you access to Integers method, and the
methods of Integers superclasses.
