Hi Bernard!
One more tip here is the DRYML extension
(https://github.com/ddnexus/dryml-firemarker) for the Firefox Firebug
debugger (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/firebug/):
It helped me here to get in the right track of thinking, because I was not
sure, if I was in the name-one hobo-bootstrap-ui case or the name-one
hobo_jquery-ui as I have enabled both.
A short look in the DRYML markers and I knew the full tag hierarchy that
created my HTML (it was hobo-bootstrap-ui ).
Then I saw, that there was no real code change in the hobo-bootstrap-ui Gem
for months and that put my focus back to the server. Getting data at all
does not mean getting the right data...
A second step, that helped me was getting out for some hours to reset my
brain.
When I saw the issue in the beginning, it was a big kickback. Working on an
app tor meanwhile 9 months and suddenly one important feature is broken,
that causes frustration.
The name-one autocompletion is really an awesome feature of hobo, I really
missed it yesterday.
I see you calling yourself a "beginner" again. We are always beginners, I
am using active_model_serializers now for about three weeks. That's how
programming is, if you want to improve your
portfolio and your skill set. But I think that is also the interesting
part, to get new stuff to try out every day.
Before I annoy you, one last tip. I tend to write debugging info these days
in an extra logfile using a small class I created:
class JobLogger
def self.info(message)
@joblogger ||= Logger.new("#{Rails.root}/log/#{Rails.env}_jobs.log")
@joblogger.ap(message, :info) unless message.nil?
end
# similar methods for warn, error, fatal, debug
end
so using statements like
JobLogger.debug("This is my debug message")
writes a nice message with timestamp and process id to the log.
Now the awesome part: There is this gem awesome-print that can format
objects nicely and color them. Putting it in the gemfile and bundling
provides the ap method I already used above.
e.g. JobLogger.debug(User.first.address.first) gives not only output, it
is nicely formatted and colored! (this is my company's public address, no
worries)

I know about awesome_print for three days, so "absolute beginner" here.
Ciao,
Stefan
