Some Ruby Help

I am trying to set a layer to be visible on one page using the code:
page = page.set_visibility layer visibility

I have put this code in the ruby console and it runs without error but the layer is not visible on the page as I expected.

model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.entities
selection = model.selection
layers = model.layers
pages = model.pages
page = pages["Blank Page"]
if (page)
UI.messagebox page
layername = "A01-Test"
page = page.set_visibility ["A01-Test"], [true]
else
UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

Would someone help point out the error in my code?

I have taken the liberty of putting your post's code inside [Code]-braces...
Assuming you have a page called "Blank Page" and a layer called "A01-Test" then the page set_visibility method takes a 'layer' (NOT a layer name) and a 'boolean' i.e. true or false (NOT an array), so just recast it as follows...
page.set_visibility(layers["A01-Test"],true)

I see no need to set the result to anything unless you want to test if it's done it - the method returns the page if successful and nil if failed...

It should now work...

TIG thanks that worked like I needed it to. Next time I'll remember to add the code brackets. I am in the process of adding features to my makepart ruby and as someone wrote the monkey see monkey do coding only goes so far.
