Ruby: Dynamically calling available methods raising undefined method (metaprogramming)
- by user94154
I have an Activerecord object called Foo:
Foo.attribute_names.each do |attribute|
puts Foo.find(:all)[0].method(attribute.to_sym).call
end
Here I'm calling all attributes on this model (ie, querying for each column value).
However, sometimes, I'll get an undefined method error.
How can ActiveRecord::Base#attribute_names return an attribute name that when converted into its own method call, raises an undefined method error?
Thank
