in `_main': undefined method `run' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) - ruby-on-rails

Question

I can't call the run method in a class called MySqliteRequest. When I call the method,the error is going out.
in `main': undefined method `run' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
Here some methods of MySqliteRequest
class MySqliteRequest
def print
puts "Type Of Request #{#type_of_request}"
end
def run
print
end
def _setTypeOfRequest(new_type)
if(#type_of_request == :none or #type_of_request == new_type)
#type_of_request = new_type
else
raise "Invalid: type of request already set #{#type_of_request} (new type => #{new_type}"
end
end
end
And main method ↓
def _main()
request = MySqliteRequest.new
request = request.from('nba_player_data.csv')
request = request.select('name')
request = request.where('birth_state', 'Indiana')
request.run
end
_main()

Answer 1

At the point where you call request.run the value for request is nil. This is why you are seeing the error you're given.
This is happening because the line right above it assigns the nil value to the request variable.
You are clearly coming from another language that is not Ruby (some type of C maybe?), by how you've formatted things. It would help for you to get more familiar with Ruby and its idioms. However, best I can tell, you want to do something like this instead:
def _main
request = MySqliteRequest.new
request.from('nba_player_data.csv')
request.select('name')
request.where('birth_state', 'Indiana')
request.run
end
_main()
This assumes you've also defined (and in some cases probably overridden) these methods on your MySqliteRequest Object or Model:
from
select
where
However, please note that the way you're going about this is just completely against how Ruby and Ruby on Rails is designed to work.
