NoMethodError

Rails
1

Hi,

IÂ?ve just downloaded and installed Ruby on Rails, on a windows xp
machine.
Then I tried the cookbook tutorial, and get NoMethodError in Recipe#New
when
I try http://localhost:3000/recipe/new/. I could not figure out the
problem
so I tried another tutorial, the todo list one, and the same thing
happens(NoMethodError in todo#list when I try
http://localhost:300/todo/ .
Both of these occur right after the step where I add scaffold :todo, or
scaffold Â?:recipe in the controller. So, I figure my scaffold isnÂ?t
getting
built. Is this what it means? What can I do about it. I want to get into
Ruby on Rails, but am stuck for now on the threshold.

TIA,
S

Hi Sharon,

If you want to rule out the scaffolding as the problem, try making a
simple method like this (no view code or file necessary):

class RecipeController < Application
def test
render :text => “Testing… testing…”
end
end

Also, check the logs and you’ll probably find more information
there. I usually use the ‘tail’ command on unix systems to
continuously show me the log file while I develop. If there’s no
equivalent on XP, just open /log/development.log and see what you get
in there.

Extracted source (around line #1): 1:

<%= @story.name %>


2:

<%= link_to @story.link, @story.link %>

That means that your @story variable is nil. Did you set it in your
controller? Something like:

@story = Story.find params[:id]

Is this correct

It “correctly” shows your migration failing. You need to fix that. :slight_smile:

== Books: migrating

– create_table(:books)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:

Mysql::Error: Table ‘books’ already exists:

Rails 2.x no longer has scaffold as a controller method. You are
following an old tutorial. If you’re using Rails 2.3 (and I hope you
are), try the tutorials at http://guides.rails.info .
