I’m getting

I’m using essentially the same code to write the data as for the
other objects that work:
def update_database
@kit.each do |device|
begin
orig_kit = Device.find(:first, :conditions => [“barcode = ?”,
device.barcode])
rescue Exception => e
puts “Device::update_database: exception is #{e}”
puts “\n”, $!, $!.backtrace.join("\n"), “\n”
end
if orig_kit.nil?
device.save!
else
begin
orig_kit.update_attributes(:name => device.name,
:serialno => device.serialno,
:barcode => device.barcode)
rescue Exception => e
puts “Device::update_database: exception is #{e}”
puts “\n”, $!, $!.backtrace.join("\n"), “\n”
end
end
end
end
And my model is like this:
class Device < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :device_state
end
Since essentially the same format is OK for the other things in the
database
I’m wondering if name and name= are setup differently by default?
Given that it goes through method_missing, how should I lookup this
kind of thing?
If my “special” assumption is wrong, does this ring bells with
anyone please? What should I be looking at for this?
