ruby on rails - Why do I get a undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass error? -


i have code in "index.html.erb" file in project:

<h1>listing businesses</h1>  <table> <tr>     <th>index</th>     <th>name</th>     <th>phone number</th>     <th>suite</th>     <th>address</th>     <th>city</th> <th>province</th> <th>postal code</th> <th>fax</th>     <th>latitude</th>     <th>longitude</th>     <th>website</th>     </tr>  <% count = 0 %> <% @businesses.each |business| %> <!--<%=business.inspect %> <br> <br>--> <%count = count.to_i + 1 %>  <tr>     <td><%= count %></td>     <td><%= business.name %></td>     <td><%= business.phone %></td>     <td><%= business.suite %></td>     <td><%= business.address %></td>     <td><%= business.city %></td>     <td><%= business.province %></td>     <td><%= business.phone %></td>     <td><%= business.postalcode %></td>     <td><%= business.fax %></td>     <td><%= business.latitude %></td>     <td><%= business.longitude %></td>     <td><%= business.website %></td>     <td><%= link_to 'show', business %></td>     <td><%= link_to 'edit', edit_business_path(business) %></td>     <td><%= link_to 'destroy', user, confirm: 'are sure?', method: :delete %></td> </tr> <% end %> </table> 

when go url:

http://localhost:3000/businesses/ 

i'm getting error:

nomethoderror in businesses#index  showing /users/am/documents/railsws/cmdlinews/directory/app/views/businesses/index.html.erb line #37 raised:  undefined method `join' nil:nilclass extracted source (around line #37):  34:     <td><%= business.latitude %></td> 35:     <td><%= business.longitude %></td> 36:     <td><%= business.website %></td> 37:     <td><%= link_to 'show', business %></td> 38:     <td><%= link_to 'edit', edit_business_path(business) %></td> 39:     <td><%= link_to 'destroy', user, confirm: 'are sure?', method: :delete %></td> 40:   </tr> rails.root: /users/am/documents/railsws/cmdlinews/directory 

any idea whats going on?

model app file called business.rb contains this:

class business < activerecord::base   establish_connection "listings_development" end 

since table not seem have primary key, read rails migrations guide , write 1 add id column table.

def change   add_column :business, :id, :primary_key end 

as described in documentation of to_param method, returns nil if object has not yet been persisted.

this because link object not in database broken link. make sure object being saved before attempting link it.


<td><%= link_to 'show', business %></td> 

that's problem. you must link url, not model. use helper obtain 1 refers object:

<td><%= link_to 'show', business_path(business) %></td> 

the same problem occur here, suppose:

<td><%= link_to 'destroy', user, ... %></td> 

you should replace line with:

<td><%= link_to 'destroy', destroy_user_path(user), ... %></td>
