NoMethodError : undefined method `stringify_keys!'' for "2":String

Hi,

   I have been trying to create a small Rails application. In one of
the steps, I am facing this error as "NoMethodError in
ContactController#update ......  undefined method `stringify_keys!''
for "2":String".

  Let me give a brief description of the application. This application
is to Create, View and Update contacts. The problem came when updating
a record.

  The "Update" action in controller file looks like this,

       def update
             @contact = Contact.new(params[:id])
             @contact.attributes = params[:contact]
             @contact.save!
             redirect_to :action => "index"
       end

 Below is the complete error stack,

What I feel is that there is something wrong with this statement in
''Update'' action,

   @contact.attributes = params[:contact]

 I just don''t have enough command on this language to exactly know the
problem.

 Can anyone help me solving this problem? Please do let me know if any
additional details are needed.

Many Thanks!!

This should be Contact.find

Hi Fred,

   Thanks a lot!

   You were right. It had to be Contact.find.
