Question

I’m having an issue when I try to update a task model to the database. It acts as if its a new model. I also get an error after the save that may be related? error and code are below. Is there any additional information needed?

I looked at this question related to my question but I have ensured that im using the id attribute.

Error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object function (obj) { return new wrapper(obj); } has no method 'has'

jQuery.Callbacks.firejquery.js:1046
jQuery.Callbacks.self.fireWithjquery.js:1164
donejquery.js:7399
jQuery.ajaxTransport.send.callback

Code:

Update: function(id) {
            console.log('Updating task');
            this.task = this.taskList.get(id);
            var new_task_name = prompt("enter new name for " + this.task.get("name"),"Default...");
            console.log('saving task ' + this.task.id +': '+ this.task.get("name") + ' isNew? -' + this.task.isNew());
            this.task.save({
                name: new_task_name
            });
            console.log('task saved ' + this.task.id +': '+ this.task.get("name") + ' isNew? -' + this.task.isNew());

            this.taskView = new TaskView({
                model: this.task
            });
            this.taskView.render();
        }

I found the issue… The wording is swapped in the Codeigniter restful API I’m using. They handle POST as update and PUT as new.
