Ruby on Rails syntax question

Question

I'm a super newbie in RoR. Right now I'm working on this interesting Rails for Zombies exercises. And I got stuck with some syntax questions...

My code to this is:

Weapon.where(:zombie => "Ash")

But it won't work. If instead I typed:

Weapon.find(1)

I passed (since the first weapon belongs to the zombie Ash anyway).

My question is, what's wrong with my answer with this .where() method?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should have nested the query as follows:

Weapon.where(:zombie => {:name => "Ash"})

That would give you the weapons that belong to the zombies whose names are 'Ash'
