From: brent brent Date: 2012-06-20T11:16:52+09:00 Subject: activerecord without rails Folks Im trying to use active record without rails and cant seem to get has_many working properly. Ive never tried using active record without rails. I can query from single tables but the relationships dont seem to be working. Could anyone take a quick glance and see if im missing anything. Here is the stub #!/usr/bin/ruby require 'rubygems' gem 'activerecord' require 'sqlite3' require 'active_record' ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => 'sqlite3', :database => 'test.db' ) class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :problems end class Problem < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end def show_single_item pr = Problem.find(:first) puts "showing first problem from the db below", pr.desc end def show_all_items pr = Problem.find(:all) puts "showing all problems from the db below" pr.each do |a| puts a.desc end end def check_has_many user = User.find(:first) puts user.problems.desc end # run some methods show_single_item # works show_all_items # works check_has_many # not working sql info sqlite> .schema users CREATE TABLE "users" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "first_name" varchar(255), "last_name" varchar(255)); sqlite> .schema problems CREATE TABLE "problems" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "user_id" integer, "desc" varchar(255)); sqlite> sqlite> select * from users; 2|mike|smit 3|mike|wilson sqlite> select * from users; 2|mike|smit 3|mike|wilson sqlite> sqlite> select * from problems; 1||first problem 2||it went 3||this is a new problem 4||this is a new problem again sqlite> and the error gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352/gems/activerecord-3.2.3/lib/active_record/relation/delegation.rb:45:in `method_missing': undefined method `desc' for []:ActiveRecord::Relation (NoMethodError) from /home/someuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352/gems/activerecord-3.2.3/lib/active_record/associations/collection_proxy.rb:100:in `send' from /home/someuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352/gems/activerecord-3.2.3/lib/active_record/associations/collection_proxy.rb:100:in `method_missing' from ./main.rb:38:in `check_has_many' from ./main.rb:44 also in rails console i dont have any issues when i created the same rails test app. any help would be appreciated -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
