Question

I’m adding a second index file for a table called wostatuses.
The first index (index.html.erb) works fine.
But, the 2nd index (index2.html.erb) gets “The error occurred while evaluating nil.each” on the line:

<% @wostatuses.each do |wostatus| %>

The controller has:

class WostatusesController < ApplicationController
# GET /wostatuses
# GET /wostatuses.json
def index
  @wostatuses = Wostatus.order("position")

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # index.html.erb
    format.json { render json: @wostatuses }
  end
 end

index.html.erb and index2.html.erb have:

  <% @wostatuses.each do |wostatus| %>

In routes, I have:

  get "wostatuses/index"
  get "wostatuses/index2"

Thanks for the help!!

UPDATE –

<% Wostatus.find_each do |wostatus| %> worked!!!!

But, I need the records ordered by wostatus.position. How do I do that?

Answer 1

You have to make an action for index2 in your controller with the same code of index1. You can also make a method with the common functionality and use the method in both actions in order to write re-utilizable code.
