Hi!
My problem instance’s properties failed to share among the actions.
e.g. In action ‘collect’, I created an “CD” instance with some
"Album"s as its properties
using one-many relationship provided by rails API.
Before saving to the db, I just pass the ‘CD’ instance to action
‘show’, using @instance_var.
But I can’t get properties information using ‘cd.albums’, it alway
return an empty array.
The reason why the objects do not get persisted is that modification
of objects is necessary.
Why can’t I navigate through the relation and How can I pass around
the instance without?
model
class Cd < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :albums
end
class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :cd
end
in action “collect”
@cd = Cd.new
Dir.chdir("/media/cdrom")
Dir.foreach(Dir.pwd) do | dir |
logger.debug “found directory : [#{dir}]”
if dir != “.” && dir != “…”
# collect album inf
raw_info = dir
@al = Album.new
@al.name = dir.to_s
@al.cd = @cd
logger.debug “Checking album[#{@al.name}]'s belonging
[#{@al.cd.volumn_name}]”
logger.debug “Find album folder [#{dir}], thus cd
contains [#{@cd.albums}]”
end
end
end
