I reached page 82 of the Book “Agile Development with Rails” First
Edition. After I compiled the code I got the following error message.
[CODE]
NoMethodError in Store#display_cart
Showing app/views/store/display_cart.rhtml where line #11 raised:
undefined method `product’ for 1099.0:Float
8:
9: <%
10: for item in @items
11: product = item.product
12: -%>
13:
14: <%= item.quantity %> |
[CODE]
My display_cart.rhtml from views/store/ is as follows:
[CODE]
Display Cart
<%
for item in @items
product = item.product
-%>
| <%= item.quantity %> |
<%= h(product.title) %> |
<%= item.unit_price %> |
<%= item.unit_price * item.quantity %> |
<% end -%>
[CODE]
My store_controller.rb in app/controllers/ is:
[CODE]
class StoreController < ApplicationController
def index
@products = Product.salable_items #salable items defined in
product.rb
end #model
def add_to_cart
product = Product.find(params[:id])
@cart = find_cart
@cart.add_product(product)
redirect_to(:action => ‘display_cart’)
end
def display_cart
@cart = find_cart
@items = @cart.items
end
private #prevents making the method available as an action on the
controller
def find_cart
session[:cart] ||= Cart.new #If the session hash has a value
corresponding
#to the key :cart, that
#value is returned immediately.
#Otherwise a new cart object is created
and
#assigned to the session.
#This new cart is then returned.
end
end
[CODE]
and finally my cart.rb which rests in app/models:
[CODE]
class Cart
attr_reader :items
attr_reader :total_price
def initialize
@items = []
@total_price = 0.0
end
def add_product(product)
@items << LineItem.for_product(product)
@total_price += product.price
end
end
[CODE]
What is the problem that it gives me that float error? Eeverything seems
to be in order.
What you could do is add a <%= debug(item) %> somewhere
in between line 12 and 13 and that will should you what’s accessible
from the item object. You could also do a <%= item.product.class %> to
see if it’s the proper class.

Can anyone help? I really reached a deadline here.
Hi,
what does your for_product class method on the LineItem Class look like.
Please post your LineItem-class as well.
Without that information one can’t tell IMHO how the @items variable
gets
filled with Floats.
Cheers,
Jan

Debugging here isn’t really needed since we can see that item in this
case is 1099.0:Float.
Are you sure that your display_cart method in the controller contains
@items = @cart.items
and that your Cart class has been updated to add LineItems to it’s
@items?

Once again: Post what your LineItem.for_product method does! Without
that
information one couldn’t tell why your items get populated with Floats.

Ok, so, line 11 is trying to call the method “product” on the object
“item”. “item” appears to be a Float. There is no such Float#product
method.
@items appears to be filled with Floats, when it should be filled with
LineItems. So, you want to check to see where @items is being filled
with data – the bug is likely there.
