Question

I am very new to ruby on rails, but simple operation is driving me crazy

I am passing variables from Controller to View

But it’s nil in the view I read all the questions similar to mine but none of them was the solution

I have a method called news_read

def news_read
    @name = "Come On "
end

And in the right associated view (news_read.html.erb) I try this

<%= @name.inspect %>

But the value on the browser is

nil

I am having trouble with 3 hours ago and it’s not working at all

Any help will be appreciated

Edit

I tried to log something but it has not being invoked so my routes look something like this

get "main/news_read"
  get "main/index"
  root :to => 'main#index', :as => 'main'

  resources :categories
  resources :testimonials
  resources :news
  resources :products
  resources :teams
  resources :abouts
  resources :main
  resources :header_titles

Answer 1

I fixed that I was trying to specify another layout according to action name and that method was private I don’t know why it prevent it but removing it fixed the problem

It was like this

    layout :resolve_layout


  private 
  def resolve_layout
    case action_name
    when "news_read"
      "news"
    else
      "application"
    end
  end

The solution is this

    layout :resolve_layout

  def resolve_layout
    case action_name
    when "news_read"
      "news"
    else
      "application"
    end
  end
