Question

I have an database items and two items in it. They have column named “popularity”, that I set to 0.

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible .. :popularity, ..

  before_create :default_values
  def default_values
    if self.popularity.nil? == true || self.popularity.blank? == true || self.popularity.class != Integer
      self.popularity = 0
    end
  end

How to change this value via code\console and save it?
I tried

  Item.find(1).popularity = 1
  Item.save

But it didn’t save my val. Whats wrong?

here is the solution

item = Item.find(1)
item.popularity = 1
item.save
