Simple call, weird error

<% @pays.each do |pay| %>

Is giving me an exception:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.each

I’m lost , pay is the model. Any idead why I’d be getting this error.

Pay Types <% @pays.each do |x| %> <%= pay.name %> <% end %>

Hello again :slight_smile:
Urm, okay, stupid question time (first of many no doubt :wink: but…
where are you declaring/instantiating/vivifying @pays ? show the
controller code where you are, as well as the wrapping ‘lines’ (maybe an
error with your reseting it or… something equally crazy :slight_smile:

Regards

Can you show us the code that assigns to @pays? Notice that it says
nil.each,
that tells us @pays is nil not each ‘pay’ record because you only ever
call
their id and name attributes.

You’re also use ‘x’ as your element name, yet trying to reference ‘pay’

typo?
