ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (2 for 1))

Rails
1

ok, starting to get a tad frustrated. rails ActiveRecord::Base docs…

…show the basic use of the find method to be as so:

Person.find(1) # returns the object for ID = 1

…but when i do the exact same method call in my code, i get this
error…

ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (2 for 1))

this only started after i upgraded to 1.1.6.

what gives? any help appreciated, this basic method failing is doing a
great job of holding me up :wink:

thanks in advance.

post some more of your log so we can see where it’s failing exactly.

also, are you using any plugins that modify/extend ActiveRecord?

I’d say that what is holding you up is not understanding what is
happening.

(wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) is like doing…

Person.find(1, 2)

which I think doesn’t work (haven’t tested it)

Person.find(:all, :conditions => [“id = ‘1’ || id = ‘2’”]) should work

You might want to show us the actual code.

think i figgered it out…

“records - a table named records seemed to cause duplicate entries to
be found by find”

my bad for naming a table Records in my jukebox app :frowning:

apologies for the spam.
