Class_eval problem

[mukesh singh]

class AssigneesController < ApplicationController

 def assignees   

  @assinees = Assignee.find(:all, :select => "#{params[:assignee_clean_by]}, id").uniq_by(&"#{params[:assignee_clean_by]}".to_sym)    

  Assignee.class_eval %Q{

                def assignee_name

                    self["#{params[:assignee_clean_by]}"]

                end

           }

  end  

 def do_assignee_cleaning

      Assignee.find(1).assignee_name

      redirect_to assignee_cleaning_project_assignees_path(params[:project_id])

  end

end

in assignees.html.erb

@assignees.each do |assignee|

  assignee.assignee_name

end

 

I am able to call assignee_name method on assignee object in assignees.html.erb.

But in do_assignee_cleaning action, i get error undefined method `assignee_name' for #<Assignee:0xc306ac> why?

As Colin mentioned on the other thread, you will need to call assignees before you call do_assignee_cleaning, otherwise the assignee_name method wouldn't be defined
