Question

I’m using Ruby on Rails 2.3.5 and Ruby 1.9 and implmeneted Authlogic as my authentication engine. Authlogic works fine. But now I have been trying to implement password reset using the following tutorial:
http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwords-with-authlogic/

But I’m getting the following exception when I type mysite.com/password_resets/new

Processing PasswordResetsController#new (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-03-13 01:09:45) [GET]

Honestly I’m not sure where to start debugging for this. Is it because I’m using Ruby 1.9? some people seem to be having trouble with Authlogic and Ruby 1.9:

Please advise me how to go about solving/debugging this issues?

Thanks,

You can start by running a test for PasswordResetsController#new action, and post here the output.
