Using Edge with scaffold_resource here.  My update page is throwing a
nil error.
"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.update_attributes"
The form loads properly with all the fields as input , but when I hit
update ..bam!
def update
    respond_to do |format|
      if @position.update_attributes(params[:position])
        format.html { redirect_to position_url(@position) }
        format.xml  { render :nothing => true }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @position.errors.to_xml }
      end
    end
The log doesn''t point anything out to me but I''ll show it
regardless
in case it helps-
NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.

I''m wondering if this is a bug - because I went back to earlier today
in a test app to see what scaffold_resource generated  for the update
and it was like this:
def update
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      if @article.update_attributes(params[:article])
        format.html { redirect_to article_url(@article) }
        format.xml  { render :nothing => true }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @article.errors.to_xml }
      end
    end
  end
Yet in my app it was like this:
def update
    respond_to do |format|
      if @position.update_attributes(params[:position])
        format.html { redirect_to position_url(@position) }
        format.xml  { render :nothing => true }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @position.errors.to_xml }
      end
    end
  end
See the difference , 2nd one has no find and the if update_params on
wrong line.  So I''ve now fixed this problem but wonder if I should be
report it to trac dev.rubyonrails ? I''ve never done that before .

I started getting this error when I svn upped Rails Edge the other day as well. It''s definitely slowing down my dev cycle since I''m not getting nice error reporting in the browser any more. (resource_navigator plugin is now broken as well, as a side-note) Jamie On Sep 28, 2006, at 6:01 PM, Dark Ambient wrote:> > Using Edge with scaffold_resource here.
