Rails outputting object hash

Question

This is interesting. I have some view code that looks like this:

    <%= @cause.updates.each do |update| %>
      
         


        
      

Answer 1

Your using <%= %> where you need <% %>. Since each returns the object it iterated over, once you are done iterating over updates, updates is returned and output to the HTML

<% @cause.updates.each do |update| # remove the = at the beginning of this line %>
  


  

  
<%= update.update_text %>
  
<% end %>
