Chris,
Thank you for the reply. putting the include under the model class,
which worked! Thanks very much for that.
In my script/console, I tried instantiating a new "Sellers" object
(Sellers is one of the types of edit distance methods), with this code:
>> m = Sellers.new("hello")
but still got the same error output.
however, I created a new object of my model, Responses:
x = Responses.new
after which I was able to create an amatch Sellers object within a
function:
def title_must_have_changed_by_one_letter
m = Sellers.new(first_response)
errors.add_to_base("Sorry, the last submitted response must have
changed by one letter") if m.match(second_response) != 1.0
end
That makes sense to me. I'm just curious why I wasn't able to make a new
Sellers object in the first page?
Thanks again for your help!
