monkey patch a block in a module in ruby

module Cequel
  module Record

    module Schema
      extend ActiveSupport::Concern
      extend Util::Forwardable

      included do
        class_attribute :table_name, instance_writer: false
        self.table_name = name.demodulize.tableize.to_sym unless name.nil? || self.table_name.present?
      end
    end
  end
end

I would like to monkey patch included block from this module in my rails application, but when I define the same code in initializer in rails I get

included': Cannot define multiple 'included' blocks for a Concern (ActiveSupport::Concern::MultipleIncludedBlocks)

This is what I want to fix with a patch until this PR is merged, Is there any way to patch the included block?

You need to start from the scratch in your initializer. That said, you should remove the module constant definition completely with

Cequel::Record.send :remove_const, :Schema

Now you can re-execute the snippet, defining Schema as you want: Ruby does not know anything about it anymore.
