Question

I have an error in my app. I have a nested from, which is rendering perfectly in the new, but not in the page where I want to see the content of all users.
This is the error:

NoMethodError in Resumes#index

Showing /Users/antonella/Desktop/resumin/resume/app/views/resumes/index.html.erb where line #10 raised:

undefined method `educations' for nil:NilClass

Extracted source (around line #10):

Answer 1

Instead of:

<% @resume.educations.each do |education| %>

it should be:

<% resume.educations.each do |education| %>

Note that the variable @resume does not exist. You only have @resumes and inside the loop you have resume.

You also have to change this part:

<li>
  <%= resume.education.school_name %>
  <%= resume.education.city %>
  <%= resume.education.country %>
  <%= resume.education.dates_attended %>
  <%= resume.education.degree %>
  <%= resume.education.type_of_study %>
  <%= resume.education.field_of_study %>
</li>

To:

<li>
  <%= education.school_name %>
  <%= education.city %>
  <%= education.country %>
  <%= education.dates_attended %>
  <%= education.degree %>
  <%= education.type_of_study %>
  <%= education.field_of_study %>
</li>
