• Rails newb syntax question

  - by Veep

  I'm in the console, looking at someone else's app. I come across the following: >> p.location => [#<Tag id: 2, name: "projects">] Why do I see this result, which seems to be the object name, and how do I access the actual attribute name, "projects"? >> p.location.name => "Tag" Thank you very much!

• Rails: saving a string on an object -- syntax problem?

  - by Veep

  Hey there, I am trying to write a simple function to clean a filename string and update the object. When I save a test string it works, but when I try to save the string variable I've created, nothing happens. But when I return the string, the output seems to be correct! What am I missing? def clean_filename clean_name = filename clean_name.gsub! /^.*(\\|\/)/, '' clean_name.gsub! /[^A-Za-z0-9\.\-]/, '_' clean_name.gsub!(/\_+/, ' ') #update_attribute(:filename, "test") #<-- correctly sets filename to test #update_attribute(:filename, clean_name) #<-- no effect????? WTF #return clean_name <-- seems to returns the correct string end Thank you very much.
