Question

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 belongs_to :users

 def self.find_latest_closed
   Post.where("status=?",'Closed').order("updated_at DESC").limit(2)
 end

 def self.find_latest_open
   Post.where("status=?",'Open').order("updated_at DESC").limit(2)
 end
end

In PostController

class UsersController < ApplicationController
 def dashboard
  @totalclose = Post.find_latest_closed
   @totalopen = Post.find_latest_open
 end
end

I get the following error

NoMethodError in UsersController#dashboard
undefined method `find_latest_closed' for #<Class:0x000001074eb760>

Whats wrong here ?

Answer 1

It’s possible you’ve got some sort of conflict with ActiveRecord’s magic find_* methods. Maybe try changing the method names to get_*.
