Hi, I have this line in my application.rb controller: helper :all # include all helpers, all the time which in the 1.2.3 Rails Gem environment I’m in, is causing this error: We’re sorry, but something went wrong. We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly. and in the log file: Missing helper file helpers/all\_helper.rb /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/ action\_controller/helpers.rb:71:in `helper' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/ action_controller/helpers.rb:58:in`each’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/ action\_controller/helpers.rb:58:in `helper' ./../config/../app/controllers/application.rb:60 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:203:in`load\_without\_new\_constant\_marking’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:203:in `load_file' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:342:in`new\_constants\_in’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:202:in `load_file' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:94:in`require\_or\_load’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:60:in `depend_on' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:442:in`require\_dependency’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:110:in `prepare_application' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:39:in`dispatch’ When I remove this line from the log file, everything seems to work. But this line was auto-generated. What does this mean and is there something I should be worried about here? - Dave ---
