Codes work in console, irb, but not on website

Rails
1

I have the following code in my controller:

if request.post?
rid = params[:route_id]
salesorders = SalesOrder.find(:all)
@sales_orders = []

for so in salesorders
if not so.latest_history.nil?
if so.latest_history.route_id == rid
@sales_orders << so
end
end
end
end

If I use script/console, using the integer 2 instead of the
params[:route_id], it returns 19 results into @sales_orders. When I run
it on my site, I get 0 results. What’s the difference? I ran
debug(params) and it’s showing params[:route_id] is begin set to 2.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Probably a data type mismatch. E.g. one is a string and the other is an
integer/fixnum.

You were right.

I had to do the following to get it to work:

params[:route_id].to_i

Thanks!
