I’ve been working my way through AWDWR (beta pdf), and have gotten
through
to page 137.
Just to be sure I’m not “chasing the wrong dog”, I thought I’d post and
see if others have come across the same situation.
The code appears to be working fine to this point with the following
exception:
When any of the “Add to cart” buttons are selected the AJAX section of
the
page (the left side displaying the cart contents and totals) does not
update (redisplay).
I know the information has been recorded because when I manually refresh
the page, the contents of the cart are updated.
From what I read, it seems as though the rails app should be redisplaying
this section of the page each time an item is added to the cart.
My browser is Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.5. I know the browser supports AJAX
requests, and I get the same results when using IE 6.0.2900.2180, which
also supports AJAX (in the Windose way).
Have others had the same experience or where should I look to resolve
this
issue? OR Have I misunderstood how this application is supposed to work?
TIA for any and all responses.

Have you included the javascript libraries in the store layout?
Does the code that’s downloadable from the book’s site work OK for you?

Steve,
Re-start your web-server ( webbrick/mongrel ) and try again. It worked
for me.
Thanks,
VS.

Yes, it fails here too, which means it isn’t a browser issue.
You next step is to download the source code for the book and run it.
Then find out how it differs form yours.

Whoa! I hope not. Let me dg into this the next time I have the
chapter opened up.

I downloaded the code and was able to run it successfully without
replacing
the “==” with “equal?” so it may have to do with some gem/engine I may
have
installed. It’s strange “==” and “equal” should be synonymous, and it
works
on a single product but not when multiple products are added to the same
cart.
I’ll try to reproduce the bug with something else.

I found it! 
Silly mistake should have done a diff on the file instead
of
the class contents! For the CartItem model, I used the generate model
script
which made it inherit the ActiveRecord class. Removing ActiveRecord
fixes
the problem.
ActiveRecord obviously redefines “==”, I guess the most obvious mistakes
are
the hardest to find.
