Question

I am trying to follow this tutorial:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ruby/singing-with-sinatra/

Got stuck in “We’ll also make use of a “view file”, which allows us to split the markup for a view into a separate file. “

I have my basics.rb file running fine.

And My files are stored as follows:

Desktop/RubyForm/basics.rb
Desktop/RubyForm/view/form.erb 

However, now when i go to http://localhost:9393/form , I am greeted with:

Errno::EIO at /form 
Input/output error - <STDERR> file: lint.rb location: write line: 398
sinatra.error   
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - 
  /Users/HelenasMac/Desktop/views/form.erb

UPDATE! :
Got the form to work right after running ruby basics.rb and going to http://localhost:4567/form .
However, after I run “shotgun basics.rb” , I have to go to
http://localhost:9393/form, and that’s when the form doesn’t show up.

What am I doing wrong? Disclaimer: mega beginner to ruby and using the terminal.

Thanks in advance!

If you cannot get shotgun to work then the new recommended way to reload Sinatra seems to be rerun.

To use it:

> gem install rerun
> cd /Users/HelenasMac/Desktop/RubyForm
> rerun ruby basics.rb
