Nil object in E1 capture the order

abon · January 12, 2007, 3:19am

I’m following the depot application in the rails bible Agile Web
Development with Rails. In interation E1

NoMethodError in Admin#checkout

Showing app/views/admin/checkout.rhtml where line #12 raised:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.include?

Extracted source (around line #12):

9: <% form_for :list, :url => { :action => :save_list } do |form| %>

11: List Name:

I have a page with all the product listed. And I’m creating the list by
choosing from products on this page.
For database and model setting I have
product.rb
has many list_item

list.rb
has many list_item

list_item.rb

class ListItem

#belongs_to :list
#belongs_to :product
include Reloadable
attr_reader :product, :quantity

The lines I commented out will generate errors as follows

NoMethodError

undefined method `belongs_to’ for ListItem:Class

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/list_item.rb:4
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/application.rb:8

This error occured while loading the following files:
application.rb
=> model list_item.rb
list_item.rb

I think this is the root of the nil object problem in checkout.
Since line_item is not correctly related to list and product.
So the list is a nil object.

Anyone knows why "belongs to " is not recognized?

Thanks in advance

class ListItem

#belongs_to :list
#belongs_to :product
include Reloadable
attr_reader :product, :quantity

ListItem needs to extend ActiveRecord::Base

class ListItem < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :list
belongs_to :product

...

end

Thanks! belongs_to is recognized.
But the nil object problem still remains.
My reasoning about the “belongs_to unrecognition” to “nil object” seems
to be wrong.

Followings are my the action capture the list item.

def add_to_list

begin

@product = Product.find(params[:id])
rescue
logger.error(“Attempt to access invalid product #{params[:id]}”)
flash[:notice] = “There is no such product”
redirect_to :action => :index
else
@list = find_list
@current_item= @list.add_product(@product)
redirect_to_index unless request.xhr?
end
end

def checkout
@list = find_list
if @list.items.empty?
redirect_to_index(“Your list is empty”)
else
@list = List.new
end
end
def empty_list

session[:list] =nil
redirect_to_index
end

def checkout
@list = find_list
if @list.items.empty?
redirect_to_index(“Your list is empty”)
else
@list = List.new
end
end

My guess is that find_list is returning nil and you’re getting an error
when you call @list.items. If this is not it then I’ll need more
information - do you have a stack trace?

Do you mean this?

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

The line of code in rails that is causing the problem is this:

    if @attributes.include?(method_name) or

in ActiveRecord::Base

This indicates that some how the @attributes instance variable has been
set to nil in one of your models. Are you directly using an instance
variable with this name in one of your models?

Do you mean this?

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

The line of code in rails that is causing the problem is this:
    if @attributes.include?(method_name) or
in ActiveRecord::Base

This indicates that some how the @attributes instance variable has been
set to nil in one of your models. Are you directly using an instance
variable with this name in one of your models?

I ended up finding out that I’m mistaking line_item.rb with
cart_item.rb.
I followed the book again. But this time I got an application error
which is almost clueless.T T

It’s really hard to figure out what’s going wrong.

There is what I digged out from my development.log

Session contains objects whose class definition isn’t available.
Remember to require the classes for all objects kept in the session.
(Original exception: uninitialized constant ListItem [NameError])

And I also changed

def checkout
@list = find_list
puts @list.inspect
if @list.items.empty?
redirect_to_index(“Your list is empty”)
else
@list = List.new
end
end

in the server log

the @list contains list item which is definitely not empty.

It shows like this

I’ve searched ListItem under the application directory. Not found.
And I also cleared the sessions.
Still the same application error.
Where does Mongrel knows about ListItem?
