Newbie question on activerecord

Rails
1

I am an new to Rails. I created a simple web app called test and
database called test with ‘People’ table. Then I did scaffold of
Person and everything is fine. I was able to go to the index page and
from there I was able to create a new person. After creating it went
back to index and from there I clicked the ‘edit’ and I got
activerecord::recordnotfound
I didn’t make any changes to the default code generated for me.

Could someone tell me what could be wrong?

Thanks.

take a look at the edit method in your controller, it should look
something like:

Person.find(params[:id])

make sure that params[:id] is not empty, since find will raise a
recordnotfound exception if it can’t return any records (you can use
find_by_id to avoid raising an exception in the event of no matching
records found, although usually you’ll want to make sure you handle
either case programmatically).

Thanks and yes the code is correct and as I said before I didn’t touch
the code at all. I was just trying to see how the scaffold works so I
didn’t change anything on the code.

Found the problem. In my table the primary key had a different name
then id. When I change the primary key of the table to id everything
worked.
