Rails - Jan 2005 - Re: error in Index action while following Todo, tutorial

Here is the code I typed in app/controllers/todo_controller.rb

----------------------------------------------
class TodoController < ApplicationController

model :todo

def index
   render_text("This is the index")

end
----------------------------------------------


And for the next response in this thread line 8 did have a 
return(linefeed) in it, but I have removed that and still get the error. 
Thanks for alluding to meaning of the rb:8 as I was clueless about that.

ps: in a perhaps unrelated event I have seen where my OS-X Mysql setup 
is so non-standard that I am going to have to scrap it and start over.

Do you have an ''end'' for your class

class TodoContoller < ApplicationController
  model :todo
  def index
    ...
  end
end
^^^^

If this was the problem, might I suggest a programming editor as they
are useful for pointing out this sort of problem.

Functions need a ''end statement'' too.   Or, if you look at it
differently, classes need an ''end'' statement too.  In any
event, you
are missing an ''end'' statement.

Make sure you have:

class TodoController < ApplicationController
	def index
		...
	end
end

Note the ''end'' closing ''def index'', as well
as the ''end'' closing the ''class''.
Hope this works for you.

As promised: Doh! it works perfectly now.

Thanks for being gentle guys. That should have been more obvious to me. 
Why does the "model :todo" not require an end? Is it akin to a 
declaration? My generic coding skills are a bit rusty at the moment. I 
do have the Ruby docs introducing the syntax so I promise to read them 
this weekend.

ps: for the tutorial I just used vi to open the files for editing 
quickly. I think there is a way to add syntax highlighting for Ruby. But 
feel free to mention any editors you like...as long as it does not start 
any flame wars. ;)

model is class method defined in ActiveRecord::Base,  you''re not
defining a new method,  just calling a function.

model :todo

is the same as

model(:todo)

Normally I''d suggest emacs as it *is* the one true editor, but
ruby-mode.el is kinda lame.  I''ve been using TextMate on my Powerbook,
 it has excellent rails support.

FreeRIDE runs on Linux and Windows and has syntax highlighting and source
code navigation by module/class/method:

Hello,

I started to use vim in screen in terminal on my powerbook, and I''m 
pretty happy with this configuration. Especialy cause I can get same 
services and environment on production server. And as I read in some 
guy''s sig: VI VI VI is the editor of the beast! (I know vim is ten 
thousand times better than vi, but poetry doesn''t care :-)

For ruby I realy recommend buying Programing Ruby, II. edition. I''ve 
just got my own yesterday, and I''m AMAZED as man can be by anything, 
but woman. It''s not only guide for ruby, but for life too :-)

ps: sorry, I just woke up to wonderful morning.
