Question

I have a rails app and when I have both the console and db:console open, they have different values for what is supposed to be the same field. I am using the send function to change the value. Here is the method in the model:

  def toggle_approve(field)
    self.send(field)
    if(self.send(field).blank?)
        self.send(field + '=', "new_value")
        puts self.send(field)
    else
        self.send(req + '=', "")
    end
    rank.save
  end

In my db:console (sqllite) everything is always correct, but in my regular erb console it is wrong. My view will then show what is in the erb console and not the sqllite. I dont understand what is going on in the background that would causing this issue. Any help would be great.

It’s hard to be sure from the details you provided, but I think it is the case that your view uses an obsolete version of the data. Try calling .reload on the updated record, just at the point after the update and before presentation. See if that fixes your problem.
