Variable Losing it's Value

Rails
1

I fired up my rails app after a few weeks, only to find it was broken,
in that the variable seems to be losing it’s value somewhere between the
controller and the view. I’ve broken it down to the absolute simplest
test, and here is what I get:

THE CONTROLLER (controllers/visits_controller.rb)
class VisitsController < ApplicationController
def list
@test = “test”
end
end

THE VIEW (views/visits/list.rhtml)
Testing: <%= @test %>

THE RESULT (http://logapp/visits/list.rhtml)
Testing:

EXPECTED REUSULT
Testing: test

A ‘@test.inspect’ returns ‘nil’. Any ideas? Thanks.

Not sure if you’ve just made a typo… but lose the “.rhtml” off the
url.

Drop “.rhtml” from the URL.
