undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class - Rails application
- by user1270259
So I have seen other articles here on stack about this and a lot of the time people are not doing @post = post.new. I read some where to use the plural...??
any ways I am getting this error on my discussion code:
Discussion Controller
class DiscussionsController < ApplicationController
def index
@discussion = Discussion.new
@discussions = Discussion.all
end
def create
@discussion = Discussion.create(params[:discussion])
if @discussion.save
redirect_to tasks_path, :flash => {:success => 'Created a new discussion'}
else
redirect_to tasks_path, :flash => {:error => 'Failed to create a discussion'}
end
end
end
Discussion Form
<%= form_for @discussion do |f| %>
<p><%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title %></p>
<p><%= f.label :content %>
<%= f.text_area :content %></p>
<% end %>
Discussion Routes
resources :discussions do
resources :comments
end
Now as far as I know I am doing this right, because I have a task form set up essentially the same way - but I have looked at my code for hours and have googled and tried other examples and now i see this:
undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class
Extracted source (around line #1):
1: <%= form_for @discussion do |f| %>
2:
3: <p><%= f.label :title %>
4: <%= f.text_field :title %></p>
Which should mean that I am missing something from my controller.....is it as asilly as a spelling mistake? .
