Hi-

I’m trying to create a file upload script using RoR but I am getting  
“You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!” and I think this is  
caused by the fact that the no form has been submitted. Is that  
right?

Here’s the form:

\<% form\_for :dump, :url =\> { :controller =\> “mycontroller”, :action=\>  
“csv\_reader” }, :html =\> { :multipart =\> true } do |f| -%\>

| **_Select a CSV File:_** | \<%= file\_field\_tag 'file' %\> |
| \<%= submit\_tag "Submit" %\> |

\<% end %\>

Thanks!
