Thanks in advance for your insights....
I have searched for some help on this issue but so far nothing seems to
work. I am new to rails but the code was already written.
Process is: User enters data on the form, hits submit, new search is
created. This is a search app that allows you to create new
''searches''
and save the results and the parameters for later review.
The problem seems to be that the form data is not getting passed to the
controller after hitting the submit button. Instead I get "waiting for
localhost" on the browser status and finally rails gives an error. If I
comment out "@search.save" under ''def create'' in the
controller and
instead render inline @search it shows ''#'' instead of the
actual form
data. Any thoughts??
**Here is the _form.html.erb code:**
<% form_for @search do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
<%= f.label :project %><br />
<%= collection_select(:search, :project_id, current_user.projects,
:id, :name) %>
</p>
<p>
Search Words A<br />
<%= f.text_field :setA %>
<%= collection_select(:search, :setAList, Autoterm.all, :id, :name)
%>
</p>
<p>
Search Words B<br />
<%= f.text_field :setB %>
<%= collection_select(:search, :setBList, Autoterm.all, :id, :name)
%>
</p>
<p>
Automatically run search every day?<br />
<%= f.check_box :auto %><br/>
Include Google Search Results?<br/>
<%= f.check_box :google%><br/>
Use Find All Words Filter?<br/>
<%= f.check_box :atf%><br/>
Use Matching Word Filter?<br/>
<%= f.check_box :mwf%>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :notes %><br />
<%= f.text_area :notes %>
</p>
<p><%= f.submit "Create" %></p>
<% end %>
**This is the new.html.erb code that calls the above partial:**
<% title "New Search" %>
<%= render :partial => ''form'' %>
<p><%= link_to "Back to List", searches_path %></p>
**Here is part of the search.rb code:**
require ''yaml''
require ''set''
require ''google''
require ''stemmer''
require ''quick_log''
class String
include Stemmable
end
class Search < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :project
has_one :user, :through => :project
attr_accessor :setA, :setB, :setAList, :setBList, :google
before_create :setup_data
before_save :setup_data
def setup_data
@setax = setA.split'' ''
@setbx = setB.split'' ''
if setAList != 0
@setax << YAML.load(Autoterm.find(setAList).terms)
.....more code.......
**And finally, here is part of the searches_controller.rb code:**
class SearchesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required
include ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper
def index
redirect_to projects_path unless admin?
@search = Search.all
end
def show
@search = Search.find_by_id(params[:id])
end
def new
@search = Search.new
end
def create
@search = Search.new(params[:search])
if @search.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created search."
redirect_to @search
else
render :action => ''new''
end
end
.....more code.....

Well, that could be the case. I remembered last night that I had commented out parts of this section: def create @search = Search.new(params[:search]) # if @search.save # flash[:notice] = "Successfully created @search." # redirect_to @search # else # render :action => ''new'' # end end Just to see if that was the cause of another error.

ThanksJust found out if I leave the form fields empty and hit submit, the error changes to: undefined method `-'' for true:TrueClass Does this help narrow things down?

Have a look at the Rails Guide on debugging and find how to use ruby-debug to break into your code so you can examine gamma.

I used debugger and found that ''setax and ''setbx'' are nil instead of being assigned the strings in ''setA.split(" ")'' and setB.split(" "). Using debugger I verified that setA has the proper string value entered at the form. Even if I change the code to setax = setA, setax is always nil. Does the fact that setA and setB are in the Attribute-Accessor list make a difference in the way I should assign other variables their value? Here is the code: class Search < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :project has_one :user, :through => :project attr_accessor :setA, :setB, :setAList, :setBList, :google before_create :setup_data before_save :setup_data def setup_data debugger setax = [] setbx = [] setax = setA.split(" ") setbx = setB.split(" ") Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yes setA has a sensible -as expected value, but setax is always nil. I can go to the debugger window and do setax = setA.split(" ") and then setax has the proper value. How is that happening? No, the variables are not the column names. The setA and setB data are put into a table named ''searches'' and column named ''terms''. The setA and setB data are entered from a form using form_for.

How is that happening?So if you put a break point immediately after setax = setA.split(" ") then setax is nil, but if you then (while still broken) do setax=setA.split(" ") then setax gets a value. If so I find that most remarkable. You have not said how setax and setbx are defined. Are they db cols for the model in which setup_data is defined or what?

I put a break point immediately after setax = setA.split(" ") and it is nil. p setax nil Then do setax = setA.split(" ") and setax gets a value. p setax ["test", "linux"] setax and setbx are only variables used to for searching columns in the Search table. They are not used anywhere else. Part of the code below: if setBList != 0 setbx << YAML.load(Autoterm.find(setBList).terms) setbx.flatten! end setag = [] setax.each do |w| setag << Transform.transform(w.stem.strip) end setbg = [] setbx.each do |w| setbg << Transform.transform(w.stem.strip) end I hope this info is what you were asking about.

Could you copy and paste the relevant bit of the terminal output here? Also paste the setup_data method please. In your first version of the code it was @setax, now it is setax. Which is it?> > setax and setbx are only variables used to for searching columns in the > Search table. They are not used anywhere else. Part of the code below:So are they just local variables within that method? Can you do a global search for setax and make sure they are not defined elsewhere also. The only way I can see you getting the effect you are seeing in the debugger is if there is more than one var of that name and the debugger is showing the wrong one. You could rename it in that method to see what happens. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yes, they are just local variables used only in search.rb. I renamed them too, no dice.
