Adding elements to an array in a class programatically

Question

Ruby newb here. I am trying to create a class that has a array as its attribute and I want to add elements to a method of the class. I don't know the elements of the array beforehand so I can't do something like this

So far I have tried the following but it doesn't work

class Test
    attr_accessor :test_string
    def initialize
        @test_string = []
    end
    def test_if_array
        test_string << "Foobar" #doesn't work
        test_string.push("Barbaz") #doesn't work
        @test_string.push("Bla") #doesn't work
        self.test_string << "foo" #doesn't work
        self.test_string.push("bar") #doesn't work
    end
end

tester =  Test.new
p tester.test_string

Can anyone tell me how to push strings in the array programatically?

You didn't call the method. Call tester.test_if_array
