I finally managed to debug more around the @stories variable. This is
an outtake from it (rdb:14) display @stories
1: @stories =
(rdb:14) show @stories
Unknown show command @stories
(rdb:14) p @stories
nil
(rdb:14) pp stories
NameError Exception: undefined local variable or method `stories' for
#<NewsController:0x102ece778>
(rdb:14)
So my conclusion is from this segment of code: apiKey = ("http://
www.mysomething.com/partner/api/1_0/randomnumber/channel/290/material/list/")
doc = Nokogiri::XML(open(apiKey).read) <-- here I have the xml
response and all is dandy
but the next line I do this:
@stories = doc.css(".item").map do |n| <--here its empty.
h = {}
%w(header source_name summary url geo created_at
type_of_media).each do |key|
h[key.to_sym] = n.css(key).text
end
News.new(h)
end
How is this possible? I might be new to ruby and rails but Im feeling
really lost. Any good feedback?!
Thanks!
