Form.select wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

Rails
1

I am new to rails, PHP background. I’m completely lost on this. I am
trying to pull all of the albums from the albums table into a select
box. But every time I run the script I get the “wrong number of
arguments (0 for 1)” error. I’ve looked on other message boards and
searched the web but I can’t seem to find the answer. I’ve tried several
different variations of the form.select but they all lead to the same
error.

Oh, and I am using Instant Rails and this is a new application to this
install.

Here is the error:

ArgumentError in Admin#index

Showing app/views/admin/index.rhtml where line #3 raised:

wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

Extracted source (around line #3):

1:
2: <%= @album_list = Album.find(:all, :order => “album_name”)
3: form.select(:album_name, @album_list)
4: %>
5:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Finally fixed it!

Needed to add the form_for wrapper.

here is the new code.

<% form_for :album, :url => { :action => :create } do |form| %>
<%= @album_list = Album.find(:all, :order => “album_name”)
form.select(:id, @album_list) %>
<% end %>
