But, my local variable 'product' is defined!

Following a tutorial here and I had it pointed out to me that it may be
a slightly older version (Agile web development v2) so I’m hoping my
problem is just sytax that one of the gurus here can point out…

I have a view called store/index.rhtml; it looks like this -

The store catalog

<% for products in @products -%>
<%= image_tag(product.image_url) %>

<%= h(product.title) %> <%= product.price %>

<% end %>

It should just list some sample product data. But it tells me:

undefined local variable or method `product’ for
#<#Class:0x275be4c:0x275be24>

Yet, in my admin view a call regarding 'product works fine:
e.g. <%= product.image_url %>

My store controller looks like:

class StoreController < ApplicationController

def index
@products = Product.find_products_for_sale
end
end

Any advise? I’d be very thankful.

When posting something like this, it’s always a good idea to
mention the version of Rails you’re using :slight_smile: but…

<%= image_tag(product.image_url) %>

As it should – where do you see the variable ‘product’ defined in
the above code?

You can fix by changing to for product in @products which also
reads properly – one ‘product’ from a collection of ‘@products’.
