Duplicate entry issue in acts_as_taggable gem

Rails
#1

Hi,

I am using the ‘acts_as_taggable’ gem and have issues when I try to
‘tag’ an entity with a ‘tagname’ already defined.

i.e

  1. book[1].tag(‘science’,‘paperback’) --> works fine
  2. book[2].tag(‘roman’,‘physics’,‘paperback’) --> creates an exception
    for “paperback” as this tag is already existing in the ‘tags’ db.

Did anybody faced such issue?

I thought this a normal scenario…so not sure whether I am using it in
a wrong way.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Hari

try:
book[1].tag_with("science paperback)
book[2].tag_with(“roman physics paperback”)

Otherwise you are not using the tagging engine to tag but just the old
school has_many.

Hi Jón,

I am using the ‘gem’ version of acts_as_taggable and there is no
“tag_with” option.

Does the following work with the module version?

In almost all cases. If you have a choice between a gem or a plugin.
Choose the plugin.

I have tried with the “plugin” version and it doesn’t have this problem.

No idea what the issue with the gem!
