parsing data from a form to a gems method?

Hi,.

I'm trying to parse a users commit message to the inbuilt grit grit method 'repo.commit_all'.

The trouble is I can't figure out how to do it. The code below runs without throwing exceptions, but when I look in the git log my files have not been committed. They have however been uploaded successfully to the directory.

I'm pretty new to this, so any help, advice or pointers to good grit tutorials would be great

Code that does not commit the files: class UploadController < ApplicationController require 'grit' include Grit

def index #Renders a fiew for the user. render 'upload.rhtml'    end    def create repo = Grit::Repo.new("/home/resource_portal/website/public/data/upload") #posts to the data model.      post = DataFile.save(params[:upload]) puts "file uploaded" render 'upload' post = repo.commit_all(params[:message])    end end

Code that commits the files but does not add the users commit message: class UploadController < ApplicationController require 'grit' include Grit

def index #Renders a fiew for the user. render 'upload.rhtml'    end    def create repo = Grit::Repo.new("/home/resource_portal/website/public/data/upload") #posts to the data model.      post = DataFile.save(params[:upload]) puts "file uploaded" render 'upload' repo.commit_all(:message)    end end

Well in the second example you have

repo.commit_all(:message)

which I suspect should be

repo.commit_all(params[:message])

Hi, Have added params[:message]) as suggested, but the files still arn't being committed to the git repo. They do get committed when I just parse (:message)to the repo.commit_all method. The files are also still being uploaded to the directory. Any further ideas?

Thanks in advance, Jen.
