I have a Ruby method that searches an array of hashes and returns a subset of that array.

  def last_actions(type = 'all')
    actions = @actions

    if type == 'run'
      actions = actions.select {|a| a['type'] == "run" }
    end

    return actions

  end

This works, except when there is only one action to return, in which case I don't think it is returning an array with one element, but just the element itself. This becomes problematic later.

What's a good way to ensure it returns an array of 1 element in this case?

Thanks.
