I am working through that book as well. I am getting the exact same
error. I thought it was something I did wrong but I have no idea what to
check since I’m still pretty new at this stuff.
Hopefully, it’s the syntax of the book. Has anyone seen the errata or
have any ideas? I would think that if we’re getting the same results,
surely there’s someone else out there who knows what’s going on.
I had similar problems, turns out in the method LineItem#for_product the
last
line for me was “item.unit_price = product.price”, so this was returning
the
float rather than the “item” object itself.
All you need is to add a line “item” which would return the object
rather than
the float -
class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :product
def LineItem.for_product(product)
item = self.new
item.quantity = 1
item.product = product
item.unit_price = product.price
item #### <- This was missing when i got the error
end
end
