I’m trying to class array to another array.
However Glove.class_name become ‘Glofe’.
Somebody can tell me why?

My environment is ruby 1.8.6 Rails 2.2.2 on Windows Vista.

My first guess would be pluralization.

HTH,

class_name isn’t a real method, try Glove.class.name instead.

Thanks for youre reply but …
Glove.class.name returns “Class”, not a class name.

Hi Bill.

Thanks for your reply.

I guessed so too, but plural form of glove is ‘gloves’ isn’t it?
In addition, I found Mustache.class_name becomes ‘Mustach’ (lack of last
‘e’).

I think it’s odd.

You’re welcome. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

It is odd. And yes, the correct plural (in American English) of glove is
gloves. But as you discovered, Rails pluralization is sometimes a bit
‘off’. That’s why I take a look there first when I get weird results
like yours. It’s just a quick way to rule out something simple. Glad
you got the help you needed.

Best regards,
Bill
