Hi guys, could you give me some advice here? I’ve been programming in RoR for some time. I made 4 programs that are used by some people, and I used Locomotive, MAMP and Textmate to develop them on a Mac. Worked like a charm… until today! I wanted to install Widgets (Tabnav seemed great) and suddenly nothing works anymore. I get ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (4 for 2)) in Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action\_controller/ templates/rescues/template\_error.erb: when I start up a program. Obviously, something else was installed as well, but what? And how to deal with it? Now what is the best thing to do? I know Locomotive is no longer updated/supported, so maybe I should use something else to develop in, but at the same time I want to be able to use what I have made so far. Is Aptana ok? But how to migrate then? (I’ve tried to migrate to Aptana once before, but ended up going back, because I found it rather confusing) All advice is greatly appreciated. Rudy ---

hey Rudy, maybe tabnav is monkey patching something that has changed quite a bit since the version you installed was last modified. I googled around and discovered tabnav is now part of rails widgets. Is that what you installed. _[GitHub - paolodona/rails-widgets: A collection of UI widgets for RubyOnRails](http://github.com/paolodona/rails-widgets/tree/master)_ It doesn’t look like rails widgets has been updated for rails 2.2, but maybe trying this version out is a next step Locomotive still works fine for me. al On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 12:54 PM, Rudy [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action\_controller/ > Is Aptana ok?

Thanks for the reply, Alan. That was indeed what I installed. Everything is just broke now. Bit of a disaster, really. Would reinstalling MAMP and Locomotive do any good? Or uninstalling the tabnav-widget - if possible? I really don’t know what the best road to follow is at the moment - looks more like a desert to me now. ☹ Any suggestions? Thanks Rduy ---

Hi Alan, just to let you and others know: the culprit was the widgetsfolder in the vendor plugin folder. After removing that everything was fine again. Don’t know why, but I SURE will not use this tabnav or widget thing again - certainly not as long as it stays available only through git. I don’t like that at all. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

I would uninstall rails widget and find something other way to implement tabs.
