I followed the sample code in AWDR 2 like this: store_helper.rb def hidden_div_if(conditions, attributes = {}) if conditions attributes["style"] = "display:none" else attr = tag_options(attributes.stringify_keys) "<div #{attr}>" end end store.html.erb <%= hidden_div_if(@cart.items.empty?, :id => "cart") %> <%=

Hello, Im in the process of working my way through the 2.ed of the agile book. As many of you already know, the book goes through the regular development cycle of the Depot application. I have hit a wall when they started talking about the sessions and the exact mechanics of how an item is added to the session. The code looks like this: depot/app/controllers/store_controller: def add_to_cart

I just started to learn RoR because I need to create a relatively simple but important application due next month. The Shopping cart app in this book is going ok but I have a question. Is the complexity of the shopping cart example in this book representitive of a real world application? Note that i am not saying if the application is production quality, I mean the

I have been working through the Agile Web Development with Rails book doing the Depot tutorial. I have completed it and it works but I cant say I understand how and why. My question is this "After adding products to the Cart, how do I then give users the option to delete just one item and not empty the whole cart?" I''ve been playing around with all sorts of code, just making

Hi all, I get an error when testing the "store_controller_test.rb" The troublesome line is in the test below: def test_add_to_cart get :add_to_cart, :id => @version_control_book.id <<< cart = session[:cart] assert_equal @version_control_book.price, cart.total_price assert_redirected_to :action => ''display_cart'' follow_redirect

Hi there I''ve also made a start on the Agile Web Dev using Rails book! I''ve been hit with a problem when hitting the ''Add to Cart'' button - I get the following error message: ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in StoreController#add_to_cart Couldn''t find Product without an ID RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..

Help, i''ve been trapped on the tracks here for a day now in the Agile w/ Rails book (latest edition) I can''t get page 115 to display. It says: 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.each Extracted source (around line #3): 1: <h1> My Agile Cart</h1> 2:

I tried i.product_id like in the tutorial and i.product.i all of these 2 notation works , but i find the second seems more clean??? isn''t it. Any explanation will be fine Regards

Hi, Is session[:return_to] something Rails maintains to quickly go back to the previous uri without having to keep track of the action name? Or, do we have to actually set it in our actions?
