Thanks for response. yes, that worked. That makes sense that you need to
call a method in client code for it to do anything. I do have one
unexpected result. This method right here:
def posts!
Title.each do |t|
Body.each do |b|
post! t, b, @current_user.id
end
end
end
I was expecting it to generate a combination like this:
"ABC" "MNO"
"DEF" "PQR"
"GHI" "STU"
"JKL" "VWX"
See how it corresponds index 0 of the Title array with index 0 of the
Body array and then index 1 of the Title array with index 1 of the Body
array and so forth.
But what my posts! method does is this:
"ABC" "MNO"
"ABC" "PQR"
"ABC" "STU"
"ABC" "VWX"
"DEF" "MNO"
"DEF" "PQR"
"DEF" "STU"
"DEF" "VWX"
and so forth. See how it generates index 0 of Title with all the indexes
of Body and does it for the other indexes of Title as well.
I believe it's my misunderstanding of the nested block:
Title.each do |t|
Body.each do |b|
post! t, b, @current_user.id
end
end
I thought this would iterate through the first index of Title as local
variable t and then iterate through first index of Body as local
variable b and then pass them into argument list of post! And then when
the outer block ended, it would go to the next index and repeat same
process
Anyone know what I am doing wrong and how to get it to match index to
index not index to all the other indexes?
Thanks for response.
