Hi,
I’m having trouble with my card not working correctly (not adding to
quantity instead of adding
full new line item) so I figured I would output some messages to the
console to see what clause I
am in, so I tried this:
def add_product(product)
item = @items.find {|i| i.product_id == product.id}
if item
puts “if clause”
item.quantity += 1
else
puts “else clause”
item = LineItem.for_product(product)
@items << item
end
@total_price += product.price
puts “end”
end
but the puts messages are not showing up…is this not a technique that
will work? Is there some
other way I can write to the console?
Hopefully this is my last dumb question of the evening.

When runnign Webrick it should “work”, ie display the output in the
Webrick console window. When running FastCGI I hear rumours it’ll crash
the FastCGI handler. Undefined results outside of those two scenarios, I
guess.
A better way to go about it would probably be to add to your logfile:
logger.info(“if clause”)

I’m not using FastCGI and am using Webrick.

Makes sense, but I got this error when trying it:
undefined local variable or method `logger’ for #<Cart:0x385cd88
@total_price=0.0, @items=[]>
Do I have to declare logger somehow?

puts never worked for me with webrick. Try: warn ‘blah blah’ …
If you are in a model or controller you access the logger via the
logger variable.
If you are in a view you access the logger via the @logger variable.
