Solves the problem! I think (I’m new to Ruby) that creating a Scaffolfd with the lowercase name was where I generated the problem .. I returned to start all over and begging to be solved and so was! .. Now I wonder: Was it that the problem?

current_item.quantity must be nil. Did you set the default when you migrated?

add_column :line_items, :quantity, :integer, default: 1

If not, try reverting the migration, updating it, and then reapplying the migration.

hello my problem is that it shows the value “item.quantity” when I click on “add button” after the first time and I get the error that I mentioned. The full error I have is:

NoMethodError in LineItemsController#create

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.+

Models :

cart.rb :


class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :line_items, :dependent=> :destroy

  def add_product(product_id)
    current_item = line_items.find_by_product_id(product_id)
    if current_item
     current_item.quantity += 1 #line 7
    else
      current_item = line_items.build(product_id: product_id)
    end
     current_item
  end
end

line_items :


class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :product
  belongs_to :cart
end

Views :

in the views I think the problem starts in the view carts “show” where "item.quantity" does not show:


<% if notice %>
<p id="notice" ><%= notice %></p>
<% end %>

<h2>Your Pragmatic Cart</h2>
<ul>
<% @cart.line_items.each do |item| %>
<li><%= item.quantity %> &times; <%= item.product.title %> </li>
<% end %>
</ul>

please help me!!
