looping from database and no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer - ruby-on-rails

Question

I encounter a strange problem when trying to alter values from a Hash. I have the following setup:
def index
data, total = Role.with_filtering(params, current_holding_company)
data.each do |total_user|
total_user = { total_user: RoleUser.where(role_id: data[:id]).group(:user_id).count.to_s }
data[:total_user] = total_user
end
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: { data: data, total_count: total }.to_json, status: 200 }
end
end
When I execute this code I get: "TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer" . What am I doing wrong?
data is output from database, so my goal is i want to add total_user in every record with add new key and value into data

Answer 1

This might not completely solves your issue but hopefully will guide you to the correct path.
In ruby the error TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer usually happens when you miss treat an array!
lets suppose you have
numbers = [1,2,3]
#now
numbers[0]
# > 1
numbers[2]
# > 3
#But
numbers[:1]
# throws TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer
So, you must be passing a symbol on an array [] operator by mistake
One way to debug this kind of issues is by checking class type of your objects, something like this in the consol
data.class
# > Array (for example)

try this....
def index
data, total = Role.with_filtering(params, current_holding_company)
data.each do |total_user|
total_user = { "total_user" => RoleUser.where(role_id: data[:id]).group(:user_id).count.to_s }
data[:total_user] = total_user
end
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: { data: data, total_count: total }.to_json, status: 200 }
end
end
