Rename a method added by a gem

Question

I want to rename the delay method added by the Sidekiq gem to sidekiq_delay. This extension method is added to all classes in Ruby. How can I use Ruby meta-programming to do this?

I want to do this so Sidekiq's delay will not override Delay Job's delay method.

Answer 1

After the relevant gem is included:

module Sidekiq::Extensions::Klass
  alias :sidekiq_delay :delay
  remove_method :delay
end
