ActiveRecord return normal?

Hi Everyone,

I’m totally brand new to RoR. I’m really starting to love coding more
now
that I’ve found RoR. I have what might be a dumb question, but I’m
curious
to know this.

Is it normal to get this result:

In the Beginning Rails 4 book

I’m following this step:

irb(main):097:0> article.location = “Toronto, ON”

Here’s what I get:

RuntimeError: can’t modify frozen Hash

    /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/activerecord-4.0.1/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/write.rb:45:in

    `<top (required)>’*

  • from bin/rails:4:in `require’*

  • from bin/rails:4:in `’*

But in the book they only show:

RuntimeError: can’t modify frozen Hash

Could it be that I’ve set something wrong on my mac when I installed
rails
or rvm?

I’ve literally followed each part of the book step-by-step.

That sounds like they just didn’t want to fill a whole page of the book
with stack trace (especially as that part will vary since it depends on
where gems are installed)
