Hello There,

As a newbie, I have followed strictly the steps described in  
:[http://developer.apple.com/tools/developonrailsleopard.html](http://developer.apple.com/tools/developonrailsleopard.html). Everything  
went OK until the “Linking Models Together” part.  
I have created the “expenses” structure, but after that I cannot do  
anything with it.

I am blocked below :

Start by creating two new vendors in the database:

> > vendor1 = Vendor.create(:name =\> ‘Parties R Us’)  
> > =\> #\<Vendor id: 1, name: “Parties R Us”, …\>

> > vendor2 = Vendor.create(:name =\> ‘Fire Department’)  
> > =\> #\<Vendor id: 2, name: “Fire Department”, …\>

===\> OK for me

Next find an event you created earlier in the web interface:

> > event = Event.find\_by\_name(‘Chili Cookoff’)  
> > =\> #\<Event id: 1, name: “Chili Cookoff”, …\>

===\> OK for me

Then create two expenses that link the event to each vendor:

> > event.expenses.create(:vendor =\> vendor1, :amount =\> 75.00)  
> > =\> #\<Expense id: 1, event\_id: 1, vendor\_id: 1, …\>

> > event.expenses.create(:vendor =\> vendor2, :amount =\> 25.00)  
> > =\> #\<Expense id: 2, event\_id: 1, vendor\_id: 2, …\>

===\> No way, I get a message that says that there are no method for  
expenses…

Any idea welcome, thanks in advance,

Thierry

This is the Ruby mailing list. You’ll probably get more and better  
answers on the Rails list. See [Ruby on Rails — Community](http://www.rubyonrails.com/community).

Good luck!
