Rails - undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
- by sscirrus
Hi guys,
Quick question. Here is my code:
#routes
map.resources :customers, :has_many => [:addresses, :matchings]
map.connect ":controller/:action/:id"
#url path:
http://127.0.0.1:3000/customers/index/3
#customers controller
def index
@customer = Customer.find(params[:id])
end
#customers view/index.html.erb
...
<%= @customer.name %>
...
Error: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass.
Here's my reasoning. The parameter :id is coming from my url path (i.e. we're looking for customer #3 in the above path). @customer should find that array easily, then @customer.name should produce the name, but apparently @customer is blank. Why?
I assume the problem is that I'm not producing an array in my controller?
