Hi guys,
I need to export/import my habtm association to various formats so I
installed ruport.
These are my gems installed (‘bundle install output’), as you can see i
have

acts_as_reportable):

I’ve added the require “ruport” line in my config/environment.rb file
as
reported here: http://www.rubyreports.org/examples.html#aar.
I’ve added the acts_as_reportable line in my model.
Now, if I fire up my rails console and do “Foo.report_table” the output
is
fine; if I do Foo.report_table.to_html the output is also fine.
If I try Foo.report_table.to_csv i get the following error:
irb(main):002:0> Foo.report_table.to_csv
NoMethodError: undefined method instance' for Ruport::Formatter::CSV:Class from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/csv.rb:2324:in CSV’
from
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruport-1.6.3/lib/ruport/formatt
er/csv.rb:59:in `csv_writer’
With Foo.report_table.to_pdf i get:
irb(main):010:0> Link.report_table.to_pdf
SyntaxError:
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/pdf-writer-1.1.8/lib/pdf/writer

ax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end

So, my questions are:
- What’s wrong with my .to_csv call? Maybe something about my
application
configuration? - Can you do that call simply with editing you environment.rb file
like
reported above and with the acts_as_reportable directive in your model? - Is Ruport the best solution for my export/import csv target
objective or
maybe there’s a better gem? (I might have much more complex reports in
future, so i would like a ‘multi-format’ gem)
Working on Rails version 3.0.5.
Thank you for your time,
