Hi,
I'm a ruby newbie, although I'm a programmer with 10yrs experience. I
was running myself through the tutorial in Agile Web Development With
Rails, when I ran into a problem. somewhere in the code I mistakenly
entered
@items = 0
instead of
@items = []
A bit later I tried the following
@items << LineItem.for_product(product)
but when i try to execute this code I got the following error:
"cannot convert LineItem to Integer"
Looking back through the code, I found the error mentioned above, and
corrected it. However, Rails still insists that @items is an Integer.
Can anyone suggest what has gone wrong, or what I can do to fix it?

If you have restarted webrick, you are probably setting @items to an
integer somewhere else.
If you have grep, you might want to grep for '@items', in your app or
controllers directory and look at each assignment. There might be
another place where you say @items = 0 or @items =
<some_object_that's_an_integer>

Make sure you have actually changed all the "@items = 0" occurrences in
the code to the correct version, and also make sure that you aren't passing
around (through a form) any "items" variable to the value "0".
Are those two lines in some controller action? It's not clear whether
they are, or if you're using some external library or something... :-/

And here I was hoping for "femalien". Oh, well.
