Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[Ryan Bigg]

Hi skt,




First of all: I would highly encourage you to upgrade immediately to at least 
3.0.20.



Second: What method are you calling exactly to get that error?

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[skt]

Thanks Ryan.

I have a User model (using Devise/Omniauth) and I call the 
assign_attributes on an instance of User.

Part of what I am wondering is why isn't there a definition of 
assign_attributes in the ActiveRecord::Base class in 3.0.5 that I am using.

Thanks for any insights/pointers.

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[Jason Fleetwood-Boldt]

Ryan-
since I see this a lot on the lists, it would be great if there were some easy 
place to see which versions of rails have security alerts against them. I know 
there's this list here on rubygems https://rubygems.org/gems/rails/versions but 
it doesn't show which ones are insecure. 

is that information easily found without having to dig through the security 
alerts?

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[Jason Fleetwood-Boldt]

You need to download a proper IDE my friend, like RubyMine (which I love, but 
there are others)

Specifically, you need to learn how to use the "Go to Declaration" feature of 
your IDE, which can give you that answer and take you directly to the part of 
ActiveRecord where that might be defined.

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[skt]

Hi Jason,

I actually use RubyMine and Command-B takes you to the declaration of 
function but since there is no declaration it tells me so. The same command 
takes me to the declaration of update_attributes when I try it on that and 
there is no assign_attributes function that I can find in 3.0.5.

Thanks for any pointers on why this function is not there in 3.0.5.

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[Matt Jones]

assign_attributes went away in the move from 2.3 -> 3.0, then re-appeared for 
3.1.0. In 3.0.5, the closest equivalent is plain `attributes=`.

Regarding security updates, the best versions to use security-wise are always 
(in descending order of preference):

* GREAT: the current release version (4.1.5 now, with 4.2 in beta)

* OKAY: the most-recent release of the previous version (4.0.9)

* KINDA NOT ENTIRELY BAD: the most-recent release of the any versions before 
*that* (3.2.19, 3.1.12, 3.0.20)

Older versions *only* get security updates, so the final releases in a 
particular line are almost always solving important security issues.

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[skt]

I have temporarily solved the problem (till I upgrade) with the following 
code in one of my libraries

class ActiveRecord::Base
  def assign_attributes(attributes)
attributes.each_pair { |k, v| send("#{k}=", v) if respond_to?("#{k}=") 
} if attributes
  end
end

If you see any issue with this in 3.0.5 then please provide feedback - 
seems to work ok. I got this code from a posting in one of the forums.

Thanks,
-S

Re: [Rails-core] assign_attributes method not found

[Jason Fleetwood-Boldt]

indeed... sorry I just get in the habit of helping newbies who do would do well 
to learn more advanced introspection/debegging techniques. My bad.

Maybe your method is defined as delegate :x, :to => :y   ?  I hate that those 
don't work with Go-To-Declaration -- really drives me nuts



If you still can't find it, open up console, replace the object you are trying 
to introspect, and try @foo.method(:assign_attributes).source_location -- that 
should tell you exactly where it is defined.
