Help making a collection available in a view

Rails
1

I confess to being a newbie.

Here is the controller code, and I know there to be product_types that
are related to the photographer.

def list
photographer = Photographer.find_by_id( session[:photographer_id] )
@productTypes = photographer.product_types
end

And in the view…
<% for product_type in @product_types %>

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

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Shouldn’t the second part be:

<% for product in @productTypes %>

to match the variable set in the controller?

Well Matt J., nice to meet you. I’m sure you, like me, have met many
people in your life who share our great (and very common) name.

And thanks for catching my silly typo!

Peace,

Matt
