I have been trying to use rails as the backend for sproutcore. I am  
following the tutorial:

I have followed all the steps in the tutorial. When I try to run the  
[http://localhost:4020/contacts](http://localhost:4020/contacts), its gives me the following console  
errors:

Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.detailController =  
SC.ObjectController.create(  
detail-1…228318788 (line 18)  
Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.ListItemView = SC.View.extend(  
list\_ite…228318788 (line 17)  
Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.masterController =  
SC.CollectionController.create(  
master-1…228318788 (line 18)  
Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.Contact = SC.Record.extend(  
contact-…228319022 (line 17)  
Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.FIXTURES = Contacts.FIXTURES.concat([  
contact-…228318788 (line 9)  
Contacts is not defined  
[Break on this error] Contacts.server.listFor({recordType:  
Contacts.Contact});

Could some one please let me know what could be the problem.

Thanks in advance for the help
