Question

I am getting this error:
[code]
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.each
[/code]

In controller:

@optionals = Car.find_all_by_car_id(1)

In view:

<% @optionals.each do |c| %>
  <div><%= c.type %></div>
<% end %>

In the table Car is one row… so I don’t understand, how is possible to getting this error message… I tried to search on google, but unfortunately I still don’t know how to fix this error…

So I’ll glad for each help!

EDIT: car_id in table Cars have the value 1

Answer 1

Try adding a line in the template like so:

<%= @optionals.inspect %> and make sure it’s not nil.

If it is, check the log to make sure the action that you’re calling matches the template you’re looking at
