It expects the object of the opposing table row there, not a hash - hence the error. This is how I would do it.
$album->update({ record_label => App->model('AppDB::Labels')->find({ label_name => "Dischord" }) }); David -----Original Message----- From: Jon [mailto:j...@texttoall.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 8:04 AM To: DBIx::Class user and developer list Subject: [Dbix-class] updating a has_many relationship failure Hello, I'm building a Catalyst app using dbix class. This is the first app I have built using dbix-class but I have a large part of the app built when I came across this issue. When I attempt to update a column in a row with a has_many relationship I get the following error, and the update fails, Can't call method "isa" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/DBIx/Class/Relationship/Accessor.pm line 59. I think I must be doing something dumb wrong. I just wrote some sample code to test it, my $album = App->model('AppDB::Albums')->find({ album => 1 }); $album->update({ record_label => { label_name => "Dischord", } }); which of course results in the unblessed reference error above. Here's the table Schema definition, (in App::Schema::Result::Albums) __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(record_label => 'App::Schema::Result::RecordLabels','record_label'); (in App::Schema::Result::RecordLabels) __PACKAGE__->has_many(albums => 'App::Schema::Result::Albums','record_label'); There are no issues when I insert rows, only when I update. Here are the relevant versions I am using, perl 5.8.8 DBIx::Class : 0.08115 Catalyst : 5.80015 Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong, or could an older version of perl be the problem? Thanks! - Jon _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/dbix-class@lists.scsys.co.uk _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/dbix-class@lists.scsys.co.uk
