Question

Having trouble setting up a Rake Task. Here is the code:

    task :fetch_games => :environment do

require 'nokogiri'

require 'open-uri'

doc = Nokogiri::XML(open(url))

  games = doc.xpath('//game')

    games.each do |game|
      @data = Game.new(
        :name            => game.at('name').text,
        :publisher       => game.at('publisher').text,)



    @data.save

    if @data.save
        puts "Success"
    else
        puts "Didn't work"
    end
    end
end

It runs without error but in the database the entries show: “— !ruby/object:Nokogiri::XML::Element {}
“

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Answer 1

Figured it out myself the xpath syntax was incorrect. I need to use:

/game

instead of

//game
