Setting the Notebook to post Notes within in Evernote w/ RoR - ruby-on-rails

Question

How do you make sure a Note is created in a specific NoteBook that is not the default?
In the client sample code that Evernote provides they show this
client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: authToken)
# List all of the notebooks in the user's account
note_store = client.note_store
notebooks = note_store.listNotebooks(authToken)
puts "Found #{notebooks.size} notebooks:"
defaultNotebook = notebooks.first
notebooks.each do |notebook|
puts " * #{notebook.name}"
end
puts
puts "Creating a new note in the default notebook: #{defaultNotebook.name}"
puts
But the variable defaultNotebook does not get used again. The note get's posted at the end with
createdNote = note_store.createNote(authToken, note)
I guess that in the demo the defaultNotebook is assumed for any notes that get posted.
There isn't a setNotebook method, but there is a getNotebook one. Which the code demo for that is as follows.
client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: authtoken)
note_store = client.note_store
# We can ignore the creation here
notebook = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Notebook.new
notebook.name = "Notebook 1402371893"
created_notebook = note_store.createNotebook(notebook)
# Here we see it is retrieved with the guid
note_store.getNotebook(created_notebook.guid)
So does the getNotebook method act as setting the notebook on the note_store instance which I can then create Notes within? I have a feeling it's that simple. I'll give it a try.
EDIT
Here are more details on the way I'm trying to implement the usage of setting the Notebook that receives the Notes:
client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new( token: user.evernote_token )
noteStore = client.note_store
if user.evernote_notebook.length.zero?
notebook = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Notebook.new()
notebook.name = "MyBook"
user.update_attribute( :evernote_notebook,
noteStore.createNotebook( user.evernote_token, notebook ).guid )
else
noteStore.getNotebook( user.evernote_notebook )
end
createdNote = noteStore.createNote( user.evernote_token, note )
image.update_attribute( :evernote_guid, createdNote.guid )
The purpose is to know the Notebook is set and the Note will be placed there.
NOTE THIS CODE WORKS --BUT-- The Note's in the wrong folder. It's in default and not the one I selected.
Here's the working answer
note = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Note.new()
client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new( token: user.evernote_token )
noteStore = client.note_store
if user.evernote_notebook.length.zero?
notebook = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Notebook.new()
notebook.name = "MyBook"
user.update_attribute( :evernote_notebook,
noteStore.createNotebook( user.evernote_token, notebook ).guid )
end
note.notebookGuid = user.evernote_notebook
createdNote = noteStore.createNote( user.evernote_token, note )
image.update_attribute( :evernote_guid, createdNote.guid )

How do you make sure a Note is created in a specific NoteBook that is not the default?
If you want to create a note in a specific notebook, just set the 'notebookGuid' attribute of the note.
note.notebookGuid = created_notebook.guid
If you don't explicitly set the notebookGuid attribute, the note will be created in the default notebook of the account.
The getNotebook method only retrieves the notebook you specified.
