Problem in following Ruby 'Blog' Screencast

Hi all,

When attempting to follow the screencast, ‘Creating a weblog in 15
minutes with Rails 2’, I’ve hit a problem when creating the
‘partial’. As soon as the index.html.erb,

Listing posts

<%= render :partial => @posts %>

<%= link_to ‘New post’, new_post_path %>

with _post.html.erb.

<% div for post do %>

<%= link_to_unless_current h(post.title), post %>

<%= simple_format h(post.body) %> <% end %>

and show.html.erb,

<%= render :partial => @post %>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %> | <%= link_to 'Destroy', @post, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure?" %> <%= link_to 'See All Posts', posts_path %>

I’m getting the following error:

SyntaxError in Posts#index

Showing app/views/posts/_post.html.erb where line #1 raised:

compile error
/Users/michael/Desktop/rails_demo/blog/app/views/posts/_post.html.erb:

old_output_buffer = output_buffer;post = local_assigns
[:post];object = local_assigns[:object];post_counter = local_assigns
[:post_counter];;@output_buffer = ‘’; __in_erb_template=true ; div
for post do ; @output_buffer.concat “\n”

^

Extracted source (around line #1):

1: <% div for post do %>
2:

<%= link_to_unless_current h(post.title), post %>


3: <%= simple_format h(post.body) %>
4: <% end %>

Trace of template inclusion: app/views/posts/_post.html.erb, app/views/
posts/index.html.erb

Any ideas?

Take the “div” out of there … that looks odd there.

Just looking over it, that looks like the problem (maybe). However, I
haven’t watched the new screencast … so I can’t really tell you.

Certainly does.

Also shouldn’t it be

for post in @posts do

end

Unless there’s some ruby cleverness I’ve missed.
