Rails Active Record ID or Object ID + Active :: Relation

Question

I get messages like this:

warning: Object # id will be deprecated; use Object # object_id

I read and tried to do tricks from Ruby Object # id and Active Record without success:

108-125-94-123:toptickets johnnygoodman$ rails c

>> ticket.class
=> ActiveRecord::Relation

I would expect that when I request a ticket, this will be the ActiveRecord :: Base class. I am not sure what to do to achieve this, or if I have a direction that I must enter.

Purpose: request for a ticket, printing its identifier. In the above example, the id value should be 97.

Answer 1

ticket = Ticket.where(:number => ticket_id) ActiveRecord:: Relation ( IRB ). ticket.id .id , .

, ?

>> ticket = Ticket.where(:number => ticket_id).first
>> puts ticket.id
=> 97
