How to see stop the #<Outcome:0x371ace8> or the #

Rails
1

i am using the following:

<%= h Outcome.find(:all, :conditions => [‘outcomes.outcome_date =
(select max(o2.outcome_date) from outcomes o2 where o2.testrun_id =
outcomes.testrun_id and o2.testcase_id = outcomes.testcase_id) and
outcomes.testrun_id = ? and outcomes.testcase_id = ?’, @testrun, tc.id])
%>

which is working fine, but as usual in the browser the value appears as:

#Outcome:0x371ace8

or if i remove the h above

is there just one way to get the value, which should just be a 1?

this would depend, on what exactly you want to display.

Outcome.find(:all, …)

will retrieve a set of records and Outcome:0x371ace8 is
the internal id of that.

do you want the size? then use
Outcome.find(:all, …).size

or should it return only one record and you want the id column?
Outcome.find(:first, …).id

would do that (or replace “id” with any column name you want

hi

i want to retrive the value its searching for, which is the result_id
column in the outcomes table.

using

Outcome.find(:first, …).result_id

i get this >

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.result_id

if i change that to .id

i get 289986 which is a non existent record in the db.

You want <%= debug your_code %>

with the debug option, the string appears like this:

  • !ruby/object:Outcome
    attributes:
    result_id: “1”
    testrun_id: “34”
    testcase_id: “1”
    id: “42”
    outcome_date: 2008-09-23 15:58:35
    attributes_cache: {}

result_id is CORRECT
testrun_id is CORRECT
testcase_id is CORRECT
id is CORRECT
outcome_date is CORRECT

but essentially its not returning the result_id???

but how do i get it to return the result_id?

Ignoring the presence of so much code in a view, you can define
Outcome#to_s to get a customized output for an Outcome object.

yes i totally agree, but i cant quite figure out how to keep it in the
controller.

because i need to use the tc.id, thats taken from the following loop

<% @testsuite.testcases.each do |tc| %>

<%= link_to tc.number, {:controller => 'testrun', :action => 'runtest', :id => tc.id, :id1 => @testrun, :id2 => @testsuite.id, :id3 => @version } -%> <% end %>

any suggestions would be great, basically its iterating over a list.

test.rhtml
(tc.id)

TC# DESC STATUS LAST RUN
1
2
3

controller.rb
@testcase = Testcase.find(:all)
@testsuite = Testsuite.find(params[:id])

in app/views/{controller}/_testcase.rhtml

<%= link_to testcase.number, {:controller => 'testrun', :action => 'runtest', :id => testcase.id, :id1 => @testrun, :id2 => testcase.testsuite_id, :id3 => @version } %> <%=h testcase.description %> <%=h testcase.status %> <%=h testcase.last_run %>

If @testrun is an attribute of a testcase or testsuite, it should be
referenced that way.

controller.rb
@testcase = Testcase.find(:all)
@testsuite = Testsuite.find(params[:id])

Shouldn’t @testcase be plural? And if you really mean
@testsuite.testcases, it doesn’t need to be its own instance variable.
