Form.select

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m getting a “wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)” from my view when
using form.select()
I could not find anything helpful in the API docs.

<%= @lists = Number.find(:all, :order => “list”, :conditions =>
"company = ‘monsieur_martin’ ").map {|u| [u.list, u.id] } %>
<%= form.select(:list, @lists) %>

When checking the first line in console, it returns every list.

@lists = Number.find(:all, :order => “list”, :conditions =>
“company = 'monsieur_martin “).map {|u| [u.list] }
=> [[””], [“gutta”]]

form.select(:list, @lists)
NameError: undefined local variable or method `form’ for
#Object:0xb7f4a9f4
from (irb):20

I’m running Rails 1.2.2. Any suggestions to what I do wrong, or which
pages I should read better in the API? :slight_smile:

Best Regards,
Martin S.

This doesn’t address the problem you’re having per se, but I thought you
should know that you’re definitely not going to be able to test a Rails
problem in irb. irb is interactive Ruby, not Rails. I don’t know
whether
you can test a form interactively, but if you can, you’re going to have
to
be using script\console which loads Rails and your development
environment,
not irb. Personally, I’d be using a sandbox app to debug a problem with
a
view.
