attribute_methods.rb:273: syntax error, unexpected tGVAR, expecting $end

Reported by Javix | March 15th, 2011 @ 09:14 AM | in 3.0.6

When trying to set a value on Oracle DB by using 'send' I got the below error:

Reading supplier name before update: DP China / Shanghai -   SHENZHOU KNITTING(AN HUI)CO.LTD

Here is how I tried to update a record in a Oracle DB in a separate Ruby file:

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_record'


ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => 'oracle_enhanced',
  :database => 'db_name',  
  :username => 'user',
  :password => 'pwd'
)

class Supplier < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name :lcssupplier    
end

class RunUpdate  
  def initialize(env = "dev")    
    @env = env
    case @env
    when 'dev'      
      @name = 'att1'
    else
      raise "Unknown environment: #{env}"
    end    
    update_dpp_suplliers
  end

  private
  def update_dpp_suplliers
    dpp_supplier = Supplier.where(:num2=>56180).first
    puts "Reading supplier name before update: #{dpp_supplier.read_attribute(@name)}"
    dpp_supplier.send("#{@name}=", "TOTO")
    dpp_supplier.save!
    puts "DPP supplier name AFTER update: #{dpp_supplier.read_attribute(@name)}"
   
  end  
end

RunUpdate.new('dev')

The same code works without any problem on another MySQL Db. the only difference is that in MySQL the table was created according to RoR convention and I didn't have to put 'set_table_name :lcssupplier' declaration in the AR Supplier class.
Any idea on what I did wrong here? Thanks

Here is the code (almost the sameà that work fine on MySQL:

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_record'

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => 'mysql2',
  :database => 'myapp_development',
  :host => 'localhost',
  :username => 'root',
  :password => ''
)

class User < ActiveRecord::Base            
end

class RunUpdate  
  def initialize
    @att1 = 'firstname'
    update_user
  end

  private
  def update_user
    user = User.first
    puts "att1: #{@att1}"
    puts "reading att1: #{user.read_attribute(@att1)}"
    user.update_attribute(@att1, "George")
    puts "Modified: #{user.inspect}"
  end
end


RunUpdate.new

Javix March 15th, 2011 @ 04:26 PM

Even trying to read an attribute value after defining it explicitly, gives the error:

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_record'

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => 'oracle_enhanced',
  :database => 'my_database',  
  :username => 'user',
  :password => 'pwd'
)
class Supplier < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name :lcssupplier
  set_primary_key :ida2a2
  attr_accessor :att1 #nevertheless we don't have to define it, in MySQl it worked fine without it!
end

class RunUpdate  
  def initialize(env = "dev")    
    @env = env
    case @env
    when 'dev'      
      @name = 'att1'
    else
      raise "Unknown environment: #{env}"
    end    
    update_dpp_suplliers
  end

  private
  def update_dpp_suplliers
    dpp_supplier = Supplier.where(:num2=>56180).first    
    puts "Reading supplier name before update: #{dpp_supplier.read_attribute(@name)}"
    puts "getting by accessor supplier name before update: #{dpp_supplier.att1}"#got NIL here, nevertheless,there was a value              
  end  
end

RunUpdate.new('dev')

Here is the stack trace:

Reading supplier name before update: DP China / Shanghai -   SHENZHOU KNITTING(AN HUI)CO.LTD
getting by accessor supplier name before update:

Strange, no? Why the 'read_attribute' sends a value and a explicitly defined accessor sends nothing?

I think the problem is that in case if a column name contains a special character, in my case it is a dollar sigh ($), the code in active_model/attribute_methods.rb:271:in `module_eval gets an error.
Is it possible to solve the issue without 'hacking' the above file?
Thanks.

Javix March 16th, 2011 @ 01:32 PM

I modified the 'define_attribute_methods' in 'activemodel-3.0.5/lib/active_model/' as follows just for 'quick fix':

def define_attribute_methods(attr_names)
      return if attribute_methods_generated?
      attr_names.each do |attr_name|
        modified_attr_name = attr_name.gsub /[^\w\s]/, ''
        
        attribute_method_matchers.each do |matcher|
          unless instance_method_already_implemented?(matcher.method_name(modified_attr_name))
            generate_method = "define_method_#{matcher.prefix}attribute#{matcher.suffix}"

            if respond_to?(generate_method)
              send(generate_method, modified_attr_name)
            else                     
              method_name = matcher.method_name(modified_attr_name)
              generated_attribute_methods.module_eval <<-STR, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1
                  if method_defined?(:#{method_name})
                    undef :#{method_name}
                  end
                  def #{method_name}(*args)
                    send(:#{matcher.method_missing_target}, '#{modified_attr_name}', *args)
                  end
              STR
            end
          end
        end
      end
      @attribute_methods_generated = true
    end

It was impossible to call the in-place modifier 'gsub!' on 'attr_name' variable as the String is frozen.
Is there another way to do that? Shall I have an impact somewhere else?
Thank you.

Nevermind I see where the new problem is, I need an Oracle db to test that.

I took the 'attribute_methods.rb' file from https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_m....

Run the same Ruby script and got another error, coming from active-record module now:

Right, I used oracle enhanced adapter: activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter (1.3.2), ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18) [i386-mingw32], rails-3.0.5, all that on Windows XP x64 :(
Santiago Pastorino March 18th, 2011 @ 01:18 PM
Javix ok we will be testing with Oracle today to see what's going on.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Santiago Pastorino March 18th, 2011 @ 04:54 PM
Javix can you try this patch file https://gist.github.com/876407 ?
Tell me what happens I'm making a test case for Oracle to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
Santiago Pastorino March 19th, 2011 @ 02:11 PM
Can you show me the schema? I want to know how are you defining lcssupplier ...
You flagged this item as spam.
Javix March 19th, 2011 @ 08:33 PM
Hi Santiago, I'll be able to test the patch next Monday only. I have no Oracle on my Ubuntu OS.
Second point, as for the DB schema, I don't have it at all. It's not a RoR application. I have to run a Ruby script to make an update in the existing Oracle DB. That's why I have such a strange column name. I had some discussions with Raimonds Simanovskis, the creator of oracle-enhanced adapter, here: http://groups.google.com/group/oracle-enhanced./browse_thread/threa...> You can have a look if needed on what he advised to do.
Santiago Pastorino March 20th, 2011 @ 04:47 AM
Javix anyways if you can specify exactly how was lcssupplier defined ... would be great.
At least tell me the column name and datatype which is causing the issue but the whole stuff about the table would be awesome.

Javix March 21st, 2011 @ 08:55 AM

Hi, Santiago!

I've just testes the patch you posted above with 'attribute_methods.rb' from master. Still get the error:

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.0.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:1008:in `method_missing': undefined method `attribute_methods_generated?' for #<Class:0x2898510> (NoMethodError)

        from C:/Documents and Settings/MACHINE_DEV3/My Documents/ror_prj/ruby_drafts/lib/update_cnuf_1.rb:29:in `<main>'

after executing the below code:

require 'active_record'

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => 'oracle_enhanced',
  :database => 'db_name',  
  :username => 'username',
  :password => 'pwd'
)

class Supplier < ActiveRecord::Base 
  set_table_name :lcssupplier  
  set_primary_key :ida2a2     
end

dpp_supplier = Supplier.where(:num2=>56180).first
puts "att1 before update: #{dpp_supplier.att1}"
dpp_supplier.update_attribute(:att1, "DP China / Shanghai - SHENZHOU KNITTING(AN HUI)CO.LTD - yoyo")
puts "att1 after update: #{dpp_supplier.att1}"

I can list all the available columns in the lcssupplier table with:

puts dpp_supplier.attribute_names

what gives just:

Is there a way to list all the columns and their types as well in Ruby? If not I'll ask our DBA.

Javix March 21st, 2011 @ 12:19 PM

Javix should be working now, can you test it with Oracle though?.
Let me know.

Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 08:35 AM
Santiago, which version and which files should I take, please?
You flagged this item as spam.
Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 08:48 AM
I saw your 3 commits at master:
- activemodel/lib/active_model/attribute_methods.rb - activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/read.rb - activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/write.rb

Correct? Should I take these files for testing ? Thanks

Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 09:51 AM

Still no luck. I tried the 3 files you committed (see above) and got the below error:

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.0.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:1008:in `method_missing': undefined method `attribute_methods_generated?' for #<Class:0x288e880> (NoMethodError)

Santiago Pastorino March 23rd, 2011 @ 01:57 PM
You should go against 3-0-stable.
Santiago Pastorino March 23rd, 2011 @ 02:05 PM
Just in case the commits are
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7717fc375ee45d7cb1fa1672713ab...

Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 02:42 PM

Just these 3 commits and no need to take the modified ?

activemodel/lib/active_model/attribute_methods.rb 
activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/read.rb 
activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/write.rb

Santiago Pastorino March 23rd, 2011 @ 02:49 PM
I think the best way for you is to point your Gemfile to rails 3-0-stable on edge ...

so change this ...

gem 'rails', '3.0.5'

with this ...

gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git', :branch => '3-0-stable'

Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 02:52 PM
As I pointed before it is NOT a Rails application, so I have no Gemfile to define it. I'm just running a Ruby file (see attached before) :).
By the the way without the modifications made previously in the below files
```
activemodel/lib/active_model/attribute_methods.rb 
activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/read.rb 
activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/write.rb
```
it doen(t work neither :(
Santiago Pastorino March 23rd, 2011 @ 03:08 PM
so you downloaded those files from 3-0-stable and still doesn't work?
Paste me the backtrace

Javix March 23rd, 2011 @ 03:35 PM

Yes, I came back to the original rails-3.0.5 version, downloaded the THREE file you posted before:

https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7717fc375ee45d7cb1fa1672713ab8c883a833ef
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/1b7b7243062519a58286cf88411bec69cd84fa24
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/63dca41fb62f47d257fd778371dc9cef0fb4181e

pasted them in the corresponding places of my Ruby installation folder (saved the previous versions before) and after running got the error I think I had in the very beginning:

Santiago Pastorino March 24th, 2011 @ 12:00 AM

Hey Javix, why don't you just clone rails from with instead of patching file by file?.
The write file you are using is outdated, the right file has this ...

def define_method_attribute=(attr_name)
  if attr_name =~ /^[a-zA-Z_]\w*[!?=]?$/
    generated_attribute_methods.module_eval("def #{attr_name}=(new_value); write_attribute('#{attr_name}', new_value); end", __FILE__, __LINE__)
  else
    generated_attribute_methods.send(:define_method, "#{attr_name}=") do |new_value|
      write_attribute(attr_name, new_value)
    end
  end
end

Also we can chat on IRC #rails-contrib channel I'm spastorino

Unfortunately, I'm on Windows x64, behind a proxy - all that makes it impossible to use git and to make a clone.
I just installed Ruby 1.9.2 and rails (by default it's the latest version that is installed, - 3.0.5 in in case).
I think that the best solution would be to install the Rails version yo will tell me. Is it 3-0-stable ? If so I can try to install just like that:
```
gem install rails -v 3-0-stable
```
regards
Santiago Pastorino March 24th, 2011 @ 02:25 PM
Try installing again 3.0.5 and using ...

https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activemodel/lib/activ...
https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activerecord/lib/acti...
https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activerecord/lib/acti...

Download this 3 files and override the ones installed by the gem install command.

And run again and paste me the failures.

Javix March 24th, 2011 @ 02:31 PM
I downloaded the below files and copy-pasted them instead of ones got with 3.0.5 version:
https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/2-3-stable/activerecord/lib/act...
https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activemodel/lib/activ...
https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activerecord/lib/acti...
https://github.com/rails/rails/raw/3-0-stable/activerecord/lib/acti...

and it works !!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot, I hope the above modifications will be merged very soon to be avilable when running 'gem install rails' command.
Santiago Pastorino March 24th, 2011 @ 02:50 PM
- State changed from “open” to “resolved”
Ok this will be fixed for 3.0.6 that will be released by the end of the month
