Overriding to_s in rails model… possible?

Question

I've got this model

class Question < ActiveRecord::Base

    has_many :votes

    def to_s
        "hello?"
    end
end

and when I attempt to display a Question with <%= @question %>

I get this...

#<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x1042b2960>

obviously I expect to get hello?

Answer 1

Are you sure @question is a Question? The to_s response you are getting makes me think otherwise.

#<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x1042b2960>

It looks like you have a ActiveRecord::Relation, not a Question.
