17,787 Pointstotal_time not working
I'm having some difficulty with the total_time when following along with the vid at 26:46. The time is not being added in my build, any thoughts?
2.2.0 :021 > Account.all
Account Load (0.5ms) SELECT `accounts`.* FROM `accounts`
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Customer id: 1, type: "Customer", name: "Bob's Emporium", email: nil, about: nil, created_at: "2015-02-01 02:58:51", updated_at: "2015-02-01 03:03:51">, #<Employee id: 2, type: "Employee", name: "Hampton", email: "hcatlin@gmailcom", about: nil, created_at: "2015-02-01 02:58:51", updated_at: "2015-02-01 03:05:06">]>
2.2.0 :022 > e.log_time(3, Customer.first)
Customer Load (0.6ms) SELECT `accounts`.* FROM `accounts` WHERE `accounts`.`type` IN ('Customer') ORDER BY `accounts`.`id` ASC LIMIT 1
=> #<TimeEntry id: nil, time: 3.0, customer_id: nil, employee_id: 2, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, account_id: 1>
2.2.0 :023 > e.total_hours
(0.5ms) SELECT SUM(`account_entries`.`time`) FROM `account_entries` WHERE `account_entries`.`employee_id` = 2
=> 1.2000000476837158

11,768 PointsIn what you're showing there, I'm not seeing any commit message after you run e.log_time(3, Customer.first)
When I run it, I see the following:
2.2.0 :020 > e.log_time(3, Customer.first)
Customer Load (0.3ms) SELECT `accounts`.* FROM `accounts` WHERE `accounts`.`type` IN ('Customer') ORDER BY `accounts`.`id` ASC LIMIT 1
(0.1ms) BEGIN
SQL (0.2ms) INSERT INTO `account_entries` (`time`, `employee_id`, `account_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`) VALUES (3.0, 1, 2, '2015-02-04 21:12:05.075304', '2015-02-04 21:12:05.075304')
(0.3ms) COMMIT
=> #<TimeEntry id: 2, time: 3.0, customer_id: nil, employee_id: 1, created_at: "2015-02-04 21:12:05", updated_at: "2015-02-04 21:12:05", account_id: 2>
I was having trouble with the total_hours as well, but it turned out that my problem was the log_time. I had TimeEntry.new instead of TimeEntry.create which was causing log_time to not run. properly.
Double check employee.rb
class Employee < Account
has_many :time_entries
def total_hours
time_entries.sum(:time)
end
def log_time(amount, customer)
TimeEntry.create(time: amount, employee: self, account: customer)
end
end
