So I'm working on creating a migration for a new version of one of the projects I'm working on. But Rake seems to be selectively spitting out errors. The same code that works only a few lines up will not work where I most need it. (That should be a law of programming...)
So here's what's up. I've got a table that stores information on the roles that users can have. There are four columns: id, name, parent_id, and list_priority. The big key feature that I'm implementing in this release is the concept of permission inheritance across roles. So, what I've done for some roles is the following:
puts ' -> Remove developer permissions collection' @developerRole.permissions.delete_all puts ' -> Set developer parent and list_priority' @developerRole.update_attributes(:parent_id => @officerRole.id, :list_priority => 5)
The migration handles that fine. However it throws an error on:
@serviceChair = Role.create :name => 'Service Chair' @serviceChair.update_attributes(:parent_id => @brotherRole.id, :list_priority => 3) @serviceChair.permissions << @op_login @serviceChair.permissions << @op_service_fundraising
The rake error reads as follows:
rake aborted! undefined method `list_priority=' for #<Role id: 5, name: "Service Chair">
And, if I remove list_priority from the update_attributes method in the second code segment, it will throw a similar error about parent_id. Could anyone tell me what the heck is going on here? I'm about at the end of my wits trying to figure this out.
Thanks in advance.
