Question

The following ruby code automatically creates pages inside VoodooPad and adds meta tags to each page.
vp = app("VoodooPad.app")
doc = vp.open vpdoc
page_names = [#name]
if self.class.to_s.match('Stake::Stack')
# Create the release notes page. Only run on parent stack
notes = "#{#name} Release Notes"
page_names.push notes
doc.remove :with_name => notes
doc.create :new => :page, :with_name => notes, :with_content => self.release_notes
end
# Create the settings page
settings = "#{#name} Settings"
page_names.push settings
doc.remove :with_name => settings
doc.create :new => :page, :with_name => settings, :with_content => self.to_md
page_names.each do |page_name|
# Add the meta tags to the product page
page = doc.pages[page_name]
puts page_name
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "description"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "url"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "name"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "image"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "version"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "stacks_version"
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'version' => #version_str}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'stacks_version' => #stacks_version}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'subtitle' => #subtitle}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'url' => #info_url}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'image' => #basename + '#128.png'}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'name' => #name}
end
In the each block, the same meta tags are getting added to 3 pages. However, the tags are only getting added to 2 of the 3 pages. If we take the name of "Badges" as an example, here are my page names.
Badges
Badges Release Notes
Badges Settings
No matter the order of the array, the "Badges" page always gets the properly tagged. However, for the other 2 pages, which ever is processed first works. The other does not.
I thought maybe it was spaces in the page names. However, that does not matter. I get the same behavior. If you notice the code also dynamically creates both of these pages properly.
I have also tried adding a sleep, thinking it may be a timing thing. Nope.
I am stuck. Help.

I figured it out. The page that I was adding tags to could not be the currently active page.
vp = app("VoodooPad.app")
doc = vp.open vpdoc
page_names = Array.new
if self.class.to_s.match('Stake::Stack')
# Only the parent stack has a main page
page_names.push #name
# Create the release notes page. Only run on parent stack
notes = "#{#name} Release Notes"
page_names.push notes
doc.remove :with_name => notes
doc.create :new => :page, :with_name => notes, :with_content => self.release_notes
end
# Create the settings page
settings = "#{#name} Settings"
page_names.push settings
doc.remove :with_name => settings
doc.create :new => :page, :with_name => settings, :with_content => self.to_md
# Have to open to different page to ensure its not open when I add meta tags.
doc.open_page :with_name => 'index'
page_names.each do |page_name|
# Add the meta tags to the product page
page = doc.pages[page_name]
puts page_name
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "description"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "url"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "name"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "image"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "version"
page.remove_meta_record :with_key => "stacks_version"
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'version' => #version_str}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'stacks_version' => #stacks_version}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'subtitle' => #subtitle}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'url' => #info_url}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'image' => "#{#basename}#128.png".downcase}
page.add_meta_record :with_value => {'name' => #name}
# Open current page to ensure next page is not open or else cannot add tags
doc.open_page :with_name => page_name
end
