Subject: Re: Unable to work with class variable

Hi,

Calling attr_accessor defines getters and setter for the *instances* of 
the class, not the class itself. I'm also pretty sure that you want in 
an class instance variable and not a class variable. Then you can simply 
call attr_accessor in the singleton class of Test:

class Test
  @fields = 'ok'
  class << self
    attr_accessor :fields
  end
end

p Test.fields

If you actually do want a class variable (and know what you're doing), 
you have to define the getters and setters by hand. There's is no 
ready-made method for this:

class Test
  @@fields = 'ok'
  def self.fields
    @@fields
  end
end

p Test.fields
