Hello,
I am veeeery new to rails and also to ruby. I have 2 books here on my
desk and try to go through it.
The first book is “Agile Webdevelopment with Rails” and I have trouble
with the following code which I have from the book. I cant get it
working. I searched a lot on google - and also on the erata pages of the
book publisher but without any luck. I hope someone can help me.
here is the complete Cart class (cart.rb file)
#-------------
class Cart
attr_reader :items
attr_reader :total_price
def initialize
@items = []
@total_price = 0.0
end
def add_product(product)
item = @items.find { |i| i.product.id == product.id }
if item
item.quantity += 1
else
item << LineItem.for_product(product) # <<<<<<<< this is line
17
@items << item
end
@total_price += product.price
end
end
#-------------
I get the following error when I want to add a product to the shopping
cart
#----------------
NoMethodError in Store#add_to_cart
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.<<
RAILS_ROOT: script/…/config/…

Request
Parameters: {“id”=>“2”}

Response

#-----------------
What I can say from my less knowledge of rails is, that ‘item’ seams to
be nil and this causes an error
i would be happy if someone can give me a tip - I cant find a solution
thanks a lot
