Rails - Mar 2006 - Object#id being deprecated - Rails 1.1

Hi

Think this is probably straightforward, but I don''t know enough about 
rails to work it out, so was wondering if anyone can help

I keep on running into this error when I''m deploying my app:


"FastCGI: server ".../public_html/public/dispatch.fcgi" stderr: 
../config/../app/views/items/_side_share.rhtml:8: warning: Object#id 
will be deprecated; use Object#object_id"

l.8 is <%= link_to ''Bookmark this'', :action =>
''bookmark'', :id =>
@item.id %>
>From http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/Object.html#M001093 etc, I 
can see that the @item.id is throwing the error, and that  @item.item_id 
just gives me a no method error.

Any help would be great, if people have time.

Thanks

Piers

Hmm... I know it sounds obvious, but have you tried @item.object_id?

@item''s probably nil.  If it was an AR object, it would respond to id()
without throwing an error.  nil, being an object, responds to id(), but 
with exactly that warning message.

Thanks Pazu - worked a treat.
Feeling very silly

I''m finding it hard to believe that''s the solution
you''re looking for.

I''ve come across this same problem before, and just as Alex suggested, 
it was because my active record object was nil. As well as obviously 
ensuring that it isn''t nil, you could try replying you link with the 
following:

<%= link_to ''Bookmark this'', :action =>
''bookmark'', :id => @item %>

Note that I''m just using @item instead of @item.id. In this case, 
link_to knows to try and extract the id from @item, and it does it by 
called @item.to_param, which is an active record method which defaults 
to returning the id. From memory, this gives a much more graceful result 
if the id is null.

Craig
