Ruby on Rails控制台

Question

I have an issue with a nested model in my application. I can't get the values to show. I know I have to do it like this: @modelname.attribute (view), but it doesn't seem to work. That's why I started to look in the console if everything I did in the controller was right. Everything seems ok. But I have one question, in the console, when you do this (example):

@modelname = Modelname.find(an id)

it gives you the corresponding object like this:

=>#< Modelname, id: x, other attributes >

and when I'm trying to find my other object in the console, I get this:

=>[#< Modelname, id: x, other attributes >]

Why? What's the difference and could that be my problem?

Answer 1

The second time –in the console– you're getting an array. That's the difference. As of why, we don't know what your wrote to find the model, but you must be calling ModelName.where or one fo the other methods in the ActiveRecord query API that returns an array (an ActiveRecord::Relation to be precise)
