ActiveRecord: Can't store a class derived from AR::Base

Rails
1

Hi,

try to use ActiveRecord for my little standalone application, without
the rails environment. Here is my first try

8<--------------------------------------------------

Main

if FILE == $0 then

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => ‘mysql’,
:host => @config[:sql][:hostname],
:database => @config[:sql][:database],
:username => @config[:sql][:username],
:password => @config[:sql][:password]
)

puts 'Erzeuge ein paar Knoten und speicher diese in der DB: ’

80.times do |i|
aNode = Node.new(“node_#{i}”,1)
print ‘.’
aNode.save!
end

end

8<--------------------------------------------------

@config is well initialized, the ActiveRecord connects to my DB as
you’ll expected. But the call aNode.save! fails with this error:

Erzeuge ein paar Knoten und speicher diese in der DB:
.c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:164:in
rollback_active_record_state!': undefined methoddelete’ for
nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:150:in
save!' from main.rb:35 from main.rb:32:intimes’
from main.rb:32

Mmm, but I have looked in transactions.rb at line 150 and 164, looks
fine for me. My AR gems are

D:\ramantics>gem list --local

Have you override initialize in you Node class ?

Hi Fred,

aaah yes. I already found the problem. As you mentioned, I overwrote
initialize in my Node class which inherits AR::Base.

Damn I didn’t know that this isn’t allowed :frowning: Fixed failures lead to
better code g

Thanks for your response.

You can override initialize, but you just need to ensure you call the
superclass implementation properly.
