Question

I’m following the Michael Hartl tutorial and I found a problem and don’t know how solved it… my problem is around here whitout ajax.

when I try to do follow to other user I got this:

NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):
  app/controllers/follows_controller.rb:4:in `create'

here is my “follows” controller eq to relationships

before_filter :authenticate_user!
def create
  @user = User.find(params[:follows][:followed_id])
  current_user.follow!(@user)
  redirect_to @user
end

def destroy
 @user = Follow.find(params[:id]).followed
 current_user.unfollow!(@user)
 redirect_to @user
end

the rest (models,rspec) I have the same
if you need more code tell me, thanks

Answer 1

Chances are that params[:follows] is nil. Check what parameters you’re submitting to the create action.
