hi, I just bought this book and it gives the url http://media.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/code/ for its source code. Nothing works. I have been through the app in chapter 6 three times and i get an error as soon as i implement the code form this url on page 79. the error usually happens with ''rake db:migrate '' and consists of ''undefined method `image_url'' for #<Product:0x31823a8>'' either in the browser or in the command line. What gives!? Most of the url''s in the book are 404 errors and it was published less than 5-6 months ago, i know its open source but what the hell? is anyone using this as a source or am i missing something? I''m sure I cant be the first to buy this book, spend the time getting everything running, working around the inaccuracies in the text, and still not getting through the first application... can someone please help with this book. ...one cant sift through the errata pages on the rails site because they are set up so terribly. how are people learning rails if the book doesn''t work? are there corrections in the 2.1 pdf book that update the links? why is this book advertised as the ''de facto'' manufacturer-written book when it seems like there could easily be more stable sources for free on the web? where are people going to learn rails for real-life apps not just geeking out in forums? any light shed would be very helpful -tbnt -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s complaining that there is no method called ''image_url'' in the product model which there would be if the database had a column called ''image_url'' in the products table, which it would have if the code on page 66 has been run. I thought that book was awful too, but for different reasons. The index is appalling, concepts are missing, dozens of questions are answered in inappropriate places or not at all. On the other hand, I learned from it and still use it as a reference from time to time. Rails api documentation is pretty awful too. Fortunately rails itself is extremely useful. steve -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

if you''re looking for a book on real-life rails programming, take a look at Practical Rails Social Networking Sites, http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Rails-Social-Networking-Sites/dp/1590598415 it creates a fully functional application (that is actually running at http://railscoders.net/) it''s pretty good, covers the basics, plus details deployment. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

hi,
my code in the 001_create products.rb file from page 66 looks exactly
like it does in the book and from the url
http://media.pragprog.com/titles/rails2/code/depot_c/db/migrate/001_create_products.rb
it is:
class CreateProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :products do |t|
t.column :title, :string
t.column :description, :text
t.column :image_url, :string
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :products
end
end
rake db:migrate says
(in /Users/Cameron/Sites/depot)
then back to the command line prompt
the error in the browser when add new product button is pressed is:
undefined method `image_url'' for #<Product:0x31ffce0>
RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..
the request is:
{"commit"=>"Create",
"product"=>{"price"=>"04.44",
"title"=>"lkjlkj",
"description"=>"lkjlk",
"img_url"=>"/images/svn.jpg"}}
the response header is:
{"cookie"=>[], "Cache-Control"=>"no-cache"}
i think that even if i copy the code entirely from the provided url it
is still not going to work
any idea what the problem still might be?
thanks
-tbnt

Hi Cameron and Julian, I guess one of the goals of the book is that you
learn by doing. This also includes learning how to interpret the error
messages in the browser as well as the logs. Next, you''re being overly
sensitive about the book and its content and you need to start checking your
work before taking shots at the book in the forum. This is called
professional courtesy We, the Rails community, are here to assist you but
you need to address this forum in a more tactful manner. Now, where do you
stand with this issue?
a) Let''s check the database. Start the MySQL client.
mysql> use <database_name>;
mysql> show tables;
What''s the output of this command?
mysql> desc products;
What''s the output of this command?
Thank you,
-Conrad

We use this book as a training manual for new developers and have had no problems with the content. In fact, one developer raves that it is the best book he''s ever read when it comes to programming books. I would suggest you take a second look at your code and make sure you''ve implemented it just as the book instructs. The NoMethodErrorr for ''image_url'' you see is an indication that rake db:migrate did not work. Check your database for the tables and columns.

Cameron: I have already taken a second look at my code, thanks.>Sorry, didn''t mean to sound condescending, We''re trying to help you, please keep that in mind. I wanted to assure you that there''s nothing wrong with the book. The problem you''re having is in your code, or more specifically, in your database. As you already are probably aware: img_url does not equal image_url. Rails auto-generates methods in models based on your table definitions. Since you had no column in your database table called ''image_url'', you were getting that NoMethodError error. For future reference, you should avoid using ALTER TABLE / CREATE TABLE statements if you are using Migrations. You can get into trouble there. Migrations issue all of the alter / create statements for you. You really need to choose between the two methods (migration vs managing your own schema). They don''t mix well :) I hope everything works out for you. Remember, we''re a helpful bunch, so keep the questions coming.

The book came highly recommended so I need to persevere. Perhaps you can see my error. There is no doubt I''m learning more by dealing with these errors :). Best, Julian I''ve followed the suggestions above: 1)checked the image_url field 2)Rolled back the migration 3) Called the Rake db:migrate again 4) Still getting rake abort undefined method `image_URL'' for #<Product:0x3d98368> and got the following results: mysql> use depot_development Database changed mysql> show tables; +-----------------------------+ | Tables_in_depot_development | +-----------------------------+ | products | | schema_info | +-----------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> desc products; +-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | title | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | description | text | YES | | NULL | | | image_url | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | price | decimal(8,2) | YES | | 0.00 | | +-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------- -database field image_url is OK C:\>cd work C:\work> cd depot C:\work\depot> rake db:migrate VERSION=0 (in C:/work/depot) == AddPrice: reverting =======================================================-- remove_column(:products, :price) -> 0.5000s == AddPrice: reverted (0.5000s) ============================================== == CreateProducts: reverting =================================================-- drop_table(:products) -> 0.0620s == CreateProducts: reverted (0.0620s) ======================================== C:\work\depot> cat 001_create_products.rb cat: 001_create_products.rb: No such file or directory C:\work\depot> rake db:migrate (in C:/work/depot) == CreateProducts: migrating =================================================-- create_table(:products) -> 0.1880s == CreateProducts: migrated (0.1880s) ======================================== == AddPrice: migrating =======================================================-- add_column(:products, :price, :decimal, {:precision=>8, :scale=>2, :default=> 0}) -> 0.2660s == AddPrice: migrated (0.2660s) ============================================== == AddTestData: migrating ====================================================rake aborted! undefined method `image_URL'' for #<Product:0x3d98368> (See full trace by running task with --trace) C:\work\depot> class CreateProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :products do |t| t.column :title, :string t.column :description, :text t.column :image_url, :string end end def self.down drop_table :products end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
