I’m guessing you’re new to RoR and haven’t learned how to read the error
messages. Hope this helps.

ArgumentError in UsersController#index

The error is in users_controller.rb in the index method.

NULL pointer given

A NULL pointer is being passed to to something

RAILS_ROOT: C:/workspace/testapp

in the Rails application named ‘testapp’

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
(eval):3:in each_hash' (eval):3:inall_hashes’

ah… it’s a null pointer in a hash, which probably means it involves a
key rather than a value.

app/controllers/users_controller.rb:3:in `index’

The specific problem can be found in line 3 of users_controller.rb which
is inside the index method.

The stack trace past here is, for your purposes, typically noise, not
signal.

Without seeing the actual code, it’s not possible to nail it down
further than that. Post the code if you need more help.

Best regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill for your reply. Yes, I am new to ROR. Please tell me where
am I wrong. I have attached code.

Thanks,

hey Bill,

My index page is still not getting displayed. Please have a look on the
code. I am getting default page of Ruby server getting displayed. Pls
help. I will appreciate that.

Thanks.

It’s more typical to simply copy the relevant pieces of code than to
zip an entire project. However, the error message you cited in your
initial post…

ArgumentError in UsersController#index
NULL pointer given

probably wasn’t generated by the code you attached inasmuch as it didn’t
contain a users_controller.rb file. Back up and start over would be my
best advice.

HTH,
Bill
