Basic CRUD example failing

[fuzzyping]

Hi all,

Learning Catalyst here.  Following along with the manual and I ran into
a weird issue.  I assume the documentation is right so it must be
something with my installation (Catalyst packages on OpenBSD 4.6).

Following along with the "SIMPLE DELETE FEATURE" example, I made changes
to root/src/books/list.tt2.  Alas, the uri is not rendering properly.

<a href="[% c.uri_for(c.controller.action_for('delete'), [book.id]) %]">Delete</a>

This ends up with a series of ARRAY values, e.g.:
http://localhost:3000/books/ARRAY(0x88328620)

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my Model (DBIC), Controller or
something else.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I may have not updated my view knowledge - but I would write that as:
<a href="[% c.uri_for(c.controller.action_for('delete'), book.id) %]">Delete</a>

Why did you use the square brackets around 'book.id'?

That's straight out of the example.
http://search.cpan.org/~hkclark/Catalyst-Manual-5.8001/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/04_BasicCRUD.pod#___top

If I remove the square brackets it no longer links as ARRAY (I should
have mentioned this before), but the action_for() returns empty.  So a
link now appears as:

http://localhost:3000/books/8

Which of course renders a "Page not found" error.

Thanks,

Hi guys!

During these days p5-Catalyst-* has been updated on OpenBSD
ports tree (as you know): what version of p5-Catalyst-* are you
using?

I ask that because I've followed all tuts w/ old (5.7..) Catalyst
version on OpenBSD, and it didn't work until I updated it to 5.8
(in particular Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema didn't work as it
should be: it didn't create the "Result" subdirectory; and also
following the NOTE for older version didn't work). I solved all
these problems updating to the latest version.

But perhaps, catalyst version is not the problem...

Best regards,
Cesare

Thanks,

This sounds like you didn't properly setup the chain (as listed below the TT example).

Verify the following two sections are fully complete (in particular, the method attributes on "sub object"):
 * http://search.cpan.org/~hkclark/Catalyst-Manual-5.8001/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/04_BasicCRUD.pod#Add_a_Common_Method_to_Retrieve_a_Book_for_the_Chain
 * http://search.cpan.org/~hkclark/Catalyst-Manual-5.8001/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/04_BasicCRUD.pod#Add_a_Delete_Action_to_the_Controller


PS., the square brackets are to denote "Captures" that are handled by the Chained dispatch type.  In this example, the URL path is /object/{capture}/delete.  If you had arguments after delete, they would not be in the captures array.

[% c.uri_for( c.controller.action_for('delete'), [ book.id ], 'after' ) %] would give you a URI like:
/object/1/delete/after

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks,
-J

Oy vey, I feel stupid.  I thought I was at the end of a section already.
Obviously I'm missing the delete action on the controller.  I'll test
again later and report back.
