Hi all,

I am getting this bellow error

No method error undefined method `each’ for nil:NilClass

The error is what it says it is. You are sending the message 'each" to a
nil object reference. Look back through the stack trace until you get to
the first line containing your own code…

NoMethodError (undefined method `each’ for nil:NilClass):

… a bunch of framework references…

Something you should recognize…

app/models/exam_report.rb:89:in `generate_normal_report’

Line 89 of exam_report.rb. Find out which object is receiving the ‘each’
message and figure out why the reference is nil.

… stack trace continues …

This code needs to be refactored. It is way too long. Many lines are
too
long.
