I’m just getting introduced to rails. I’ve started with the tutorials  
mentioned in [tutorialspoint.com](http://tutorialspoint.com). I am getting stuck at creating a  
view. Tried the code on this page

> **[Ruby on Rails 2.1 - Views](http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby-on-rails-2.1/rails-views.htm)**
>
> Ruby on Rails 2 1 Views - A Rails View is an ERb program that shares data with controllers through mutually accessible variables.

and it gives me the following error:

undefined method `title’ for #\<Book id: nil, created\_at: nil,  
updated\_at: nil\>

Here is the extracted source:

1:

# Add new book
  
2: \<% form\_tag :action =\> ‘create’ do %\>  
3: 

Title:  
4: \<%= text\_field ‘book’, ‘title’ %\>

  
5: 

Price:  
6: \<%= text\_field ‘book’, ‘price’ %\>

  
7: 

Subject:

Why is this happening?

Have you run all the necessary database migrations? Does the books  
table have the title and price columns?

I started all over. When I run the rake db:migrate I get this error:

# $rake db:migrate (in /home/deostroll/Desktop/sites/library) == 20090828225043 Books: migrating

– t()  
rake aborted!  
undefined method `t’ for  
#ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter:0xb75c9ca4

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I don’t understand this error?
