I’m trying to do a simple assert of the value of a column returned from
MySQL
using the sequel gem. However, the type is an Array, rather than a
String.
I found that cur_user.map(:phone).to_s works, but I don’t understand why
the
default type of a varchar column comes back as an Array. Any insight
would
be appreciated.

Why is the content of the phone column considered an Array? What is the
proper syntax to make the assert succeed?
I’ve never used the sequel gem, I think your problem here is that
this:@db[:users].where(:username
=> ‘test1’, :password => ‘test1’)
returns an array of users, not just a single user object. Also, calling
the
map method on an array will return another array, not a single value.
So
you are trying to compare of values to a single value. Here’s my hunch
how
you want your test to look:
This way you are getting the first record from the original query, so
now
cur_user is a single object, not an array. And if I read the sequel
documentation right, you can reference individual columns like a hash or
something. So you use cur_user[:phone] to get the phone column from the
record. Good luck.
I’m with you, Joe. My first inclination was cur_user[:phone], but that
doesn’t work at all. You have to use the map method to gain access to
the
columns.
The first line fails, but the second one succeeds:
