Question

I’m learning rails. I on chapter 7 of Michael Hartl’s rails tutorial. I am trying to make a signup page where users can create an account. I can create users without problems when I run my app from a local environment (localhost:3000), however when I push the changes up to Heroku, pressing the sign-up button results in the error “We’re sorry but something went wrong”.

Checking the heroku logs I find:

Started GET "/signup" for [an ip address...] at 2012-08-27 21:36:15 +0000

Processing by UsersController#new as HTML

ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial /shared/error_messages with 
{:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder]}. Searched in:

* "/app/app/views"

Rendered users/new.html.erb within layouts/application (38.9ms)

6:     <%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 137ms

5:   <div class="span6 offset3">
):

4: <div class="row">
app/views/users/new.html.erb:6:in     
  `_app_views_users_new_html_erb___3412900076253353202_33302880'

7:       <%= render '/shared/error_messages' %>

8:       <%= f.label :name %>
app/views/users/new.html.erb:7:in `block in 
  _app_views_users_new_html_erb___3412900076253353202_33302880'

9:       <%= f.text_field :name %>   

Now I’ve run:

$ heroku run rake db:migrate

and I’ve included 'pg', '0.12.2' in my gemfile.

I’ve also rolled back the heroku db using:

$ heroku pg:reset HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_WHITE

and then re-migrated it

$ heroku run rake db:migrate

to no avail. Any ideas? It is strange because everything other aspect of the webpage works, and the whole thing works in my local environment. Thanks.

Answer 1

You are missing a partial:

Missing partial /shared/error_messages with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder]

Check if it has been added to git.
