I am running into a very odd problem. I have an ActiveRecord called
Objective with a public create method. When this method is called in
a controller the return value is a Hash instead of Objective. When I
test the method in Rspec for the model it returns as Objective.
Does anyone have an idea about why the return type would be different
and if so how to fix it so it always returns Objective?
Code:
class Objective < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :next_actions, :order => 'id DESC', :conditions =>
{:completed => false}
has_many :action_items, :order => 'position'
has_many :progress_updates
serialize :freq_value
validates_presence_of :name, :due_date, :completion, :pr_u_frequency_id
validates_numericality_of :completion, :only_integer =>
true, :greater_than_or_equal_to => 0, :less_than_or_equal_to => 100
def self.create(attributes, user_id)
#create new record with user_id correctly set
attributes.delete :freq_options #deletes this unused key
obj = self.new(attributes)
obj.user_id = user_id
obj.save ? obj : nil
end
end
class ObjectivesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :require_user
layout false
def create
objective = Objective.create(params[:objective], current_user.id)
Rails.logger.info("****objective.class = #{objective.class}****")
end
end
