Reading n writing object attributes Hi. In this simple example I have a User class with the class method: def self.find_user(name) user = self.find(:first, :conditions => ["username = ?", name]) # user.salt end In the rails console I do the following:>> u = User.find_user(''kena'')=> #<User id: 5, username: "test", hashed_password: "c1a18d933c06f5a3ebd8d1d155d294f39447fbf2", salt: "177647700.129851651671097", email: "", created_at: "2008-10-28 00:54:42", updated_at: "2008-10-28 00:54:42">>> u.salt=> nil>> u.username=> nil What I don''t understand is why I can''t access its attributes? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Soh, Not sure why you are not able to access the attributes in the use case but can I ask why you are not using the dynamic find_by methods ie User.find_by_username(''kena'') ? -- Robert Zotter Zapient, LLC Ruby on Rails Development and Consulting On Oct 27, 6:49 pm, Soh Dubom <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Reading n writing object attributes > > Hi.

I didn''t have any private nor protected methods and I was reloading my console with: reload! ... I then decided to re-start my machine and now it works fine. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce that problem now ... let''s consider that a good thing ... thanks anyway :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
