Greetings,
I think it would be a great feature if mongoid would create an method= for embeds_many.
I assigned a class directly into a embeds_many field and encountered this error:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/attributes.rb:320:in `method_missing': undefined method `first' for #<Blue _id: 51ba6eed23e5b2905b000001, > (NoMethodError) from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/embedded/batchable.rb:199:in `normalize_docs' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/embedded/batchable.rb:86:in `batch_replace' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/embedded/many.rb:313:in `substitute' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/accessors.rb:265:in `block (2 levels) in setter' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/accessors.rb:175:in `without_autobuild' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mongoid-3.1.4/lib/mongoid/relations/accessors.rb:263:in `block in setter' from dl.test.rb:23:in `<main>'
If mongoid would create an accessor such as
embeds_many :blue # auto created accessor to prevent mistakes def blue=(value) raise "You cannot assign values to embeds_many fields; you must use blue << newValue" end
This would prevent the odd error above and perhaps save others a lot of time trying to figure out how that error message attaches to their code.
Full list of boo-boo code:
require 'mongoid' Mongoid.load!("config/mongoid.yml", :test) class Inquiry include Mongoid::Document embeds_many :blue end class Blue include Mongoid::Document embedded_in :inquiry end Inquiry.all.delete i = Inquiry.new i.blue = Blue.new # <-=== Bad line of code i.save
Thank you!!!!
