Hi guys,
I just started using Ruby on Rails. After implementing the RoR blog
tutorial I started with my own data model.
Sadly I am not able to get my create page running.
Model:
class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :activity, :presence => true
validates :forKids, :presence => true
validates :start_date, :presence => true
end
Controller:
class ActivitiesController < ApplicationController
def index
@activities = Activity.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: @activities }
end
end
end
def new
@activity = Activity.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: @activity }
end
end
View:
<h1>New Activity</h1>
<%= render ''form'' %>
<%= link_to ''Back'', activities_path %>
and partial:
<%= form_for(@activity) do |f| %>
<% if @activity.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(@activity.errors.count, "error")
%> prohibited
this activity from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% @activity.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :activity %><br />
<%= f.text_field :activity %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :responsible %><br />
<%= f.text_field :responsible %>
</div>
I always get the following error message:
NoMethodError in Activities#new
Showing .../app/views/activities/_form.html.erb where line #1 raised:
undefined method `model_name'' for NilClass:Class
Extracted source (around line #1):
1: <%= form_for(@activity) do |f| %>
2: <% if @activity.errors.any? %>
3: <div id="error_explanation">
4: <h2><%= pluralize(@activity.errors.count, "error")
%>
prohibited this activity from being saved:</h2>
I found several posts about the same error message but so far I wasn''t
able to figure out the problem with @activity being nil. Shouldn''t it
be
initialized by @activity = Activity.new in the controller?
Thanks
Julian

Shouldn''t it be > initialized by @activity = Activity.new in the controller?I think the problem is that you have just used <%= render ''form'' %> to render the form. You have not passed the @activity variable to the form. Have a look at the Rails Guide on Layouts and Rendering for how to use :locals to pass variables when rendering a partial.

I tried to test it without the partial so I replaced the <%= render ''form'' %> with the body of the partial but I still get the same error message. So the passing of the variable into the partial cannot be the reason for the problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you still get the error then post the view and the error message. Copy and paste, do not retype.

For future similar problems have a look at the Rails Guide on Debugging. It will show you how to debug the code so that these problems can be more easily found.
