Question

I have a list of comments stored in a database. I can pull the comment from the database and manipulate it, however, I get the error when I try to update my database again via datamapper.

I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/dm-core-1.1.0/lib/dm-core/resource/state/immutable.rb:16:in `set': Immutable resource cannot be modified (DataMapper::ImmutableError)

from process.rb:27:in `<main>'

And here’s the code:

comments.each do |comment|
  comment.body.each_line do |comment_line|
    comment_line = comment_line.lstrip
      if comment_line[0]== '>'
        new_comment = comment.body.slice! comment_line
        comment.update(:body => new_comment)
        comment.save
      end
   end
 end 

What am I doing wrong?

No need to call comment.save – remove it and it’s possible it will work
