Ruby on Rails

Jan,

That is pretty strange-- but it looks like you're doing something non-standard and you've gotten yourself into a pickle.

I notice that the error message says there's no method 'where' on an instance of an Article. Normally you call where on the class itself. 

First of all, why is your class named "X" in your example (did you do that just to share you code? It's a little confusing)? 

Secondly, can you show us the calling code please?

Finally, put a debugging statement inside of self.low_level and then type "self" to understand the context (scope) of how it is called -- if "self" inside the method is actually your Article class or (somehow) an instance of an Article.

Rspec forum isn't working

Rspec is having trouble recognizing where method.

Here's the rspec output:

 NoMethodError:
      undefined method `where' for #<Article:0x000000066ceb38>
    #
/apps/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/gems/activemodel-4.0.10/lib/active_model/attribute_methods.rb:439:in

/apps/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/gems/activerecord-4.0.10/lib/active_record/querying.rb:9:in
`where'


The spec calls index which then calls a public method that uses the
following method:

class X < ActiveRecord::Base
 def self.low_level
   where(:level=> 1)
 end
end

Any ideas what could be the problem?
