The error
TypeError: nil can't be coerced into Integer
occurs becausetool.current_rate
is returningnil
, which cannot be multiplied with the amount value in the view template. The original code was designed to fetch exchange rates from an external service but didn't properly handle cases where the rate fetch fails or returns nil.Key changes made to fix this:
Variable Naming:
response
torate
in thecurrent_rate
method to better reflect the actual value being handledNil Handling:
0.0
instead of nil when the rate fetch fails0.0
instead ofnil
to maintain consistencyLogging Improvements:
Error Handling:
The original intent of the code was to fetch and cache exchange rates while handling potential API failures. The changes maintain this intent while making the code more robust by ensuring it always returns a numeric value that can be safely used in calculations, even in error conditions.
This fix prevents the TypeError while also providing a more graceful degradation of functionality - when exchange rates can't be fetched, the calculator will show zero instead of crashing with an error.
