Adding model fields

Rails
1

I added a field “url” to a table, modified the view to show the new
field. Now I’m getting an error in the code that processes the form in
the view:

  copy_from_item = Item.find(params[:id])
  @item = Item.new(copy_from_item.attributes)

The second line here gives this error:

undefined method `url=’ for #Item:0x246e3f0

RAILS_ROOT:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/Store/Inventory/public/…/config/…

I thought that Rails magically handled new fields. Not so?

What else do I need to do?

restart your web server each time a table changes

Thank you. (Fast response). I just remembered! I think that the dev
server will handle the new field.
