Hello,

When I try:

@tagged\_items = Problem.find\_tagged\_with :all =\> ‘kuba’

or

@tagged\_items = Problem.tags\_count :limit =\> 100

I get this error:

ArgumentError in Volume#index

wrong number of arguments (2 for 3)

RAILS\_ROOT: script/…/config/…  
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts\_as\_taggable-1.0.4/lib/taggable.rb:244:in  
`add_limit!' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts_as_taggable-1.0.4/lib/taggable.rb:244:in`find\_tagged\_with’  
#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/controllers/volume\_controller.rb:6:in `index’

Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

somewhere in your controller, you’ve got a method…

tagged\_with(1, 2, 3)

tags\_count(1, 2, 3)

but you aren’t supplying the correct number of variables for it to work

} somewhere in your controller, you’ve got a method…  
}  
} tagged\_with(1, 2, 3)  
}  
} tags\_count(1, 2, 3)  
}  
} but you aren’t supplying the correct number of variables for it to  
work

#find\_tagged\_with and #tags\_count comes from ‘acts\_as\_taggable’ plugin,

according to doc:

tags\_count(options = {})

This method counts the number of times the tags have been applied to  
your objects and, by default, returns a hash in the form of {  
.tag\_name.  
=\> count, . }

so it takes a hash of options

I forgot to say that i’m using rails 1.1 and acts\_as\_taggable 1.0.4  
(gem)

No, that is not the problem. If you look at the stacktrace, you’ll  
see the bug is in the implementation of taggable.rb. Line 244 call  
add\_limit!, which expects 3 arguments, not 2. I had the same problem.  
Either the plugin needs to change or the implementation of add\_limit!  
needs to expect a default argument.

See ticket #4456 for details:

Bye !
