Question

I have this in my html page

and when I hit localhost:3000 I get this

<%= link_to "bla", "www.google.com" %>

PS: I’m new to rails. any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Make sure that your view file name has the html.erb extension.

For example, for a User model, the model is in app/models/user.rb, the controller is in app/controllers/users_controller.rb, and the show view is in app/views/users/show.html.erb.

I hope this helps.
