Question

I am following the ruby on rails tutorial and I’m on Lesson 8 signup failure. I am getting a Template is Missing error when submitting information.

Missing template users/create, application/create with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}. Searched in: * "/Users/lexi87/rails_projects/sample_app/app/views"

I have double check the files that he has open line for line. Nothing is different.

Users_controllers.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController


  def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    @title = @user.name
  end

  def new
    @user = User.new
    @title = "Sign up"
end

def create
  @user = User.new(params[:user])
  if @user.save
    # Handle a successful save.
  else
  @title = "Sign up"
  render = 'new'
  end
end
end

New.html.erb

<h1>Sign up</h1>

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages'%>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>

<div class="field">
<%= f.label :email %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
</div>

<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password %><br/>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
</div>

<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password_confirmation, "Confirmation" %><br/>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
</div>

<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Sign up" %>
</div>
<% end %>

Error_messages.html.erb

<% if @user.errors.any? %>
    <div id="error_explanation">
        <h2>
            <%= pluralize(@user.errors.count, "error") %>
            prohibited this user from being saved:
            </h2>
            <p>There were problems with the following fields:</p>
            <ul>
            <% @user.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
            <li><%= message %></li>
            <% end %>
            </ul>
    </div>

    <% end %>

Answer 1

Thanks for the advice.

The actual problem was I had a “=” sign after render. It was showing in their file but when I fast forward the video I notice it was not there.

Thanks again.
