Question

I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while now but I can’t see the error.

When I go to jobs/new. Instead of seeing the form that I specified in my view. I’m receiving – undefined method model_name' for NilClass:Class

Here’s my controller where im defining the new action.

class JobsController < ApplicationController

  respond_to :html, :json

  ...

  def new
    @jobs = Job.new
    respond_with @jobs
  end

And my view.

<%= form_for(@jobs) do |f| %>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :name %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :client %><br />
    <%= f.text_area :client, rows: 6%>
  </div>
  <div class="actions">
    <%= f.submit %>
  </div>
<% end %>

And my model.

class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :client
end

The source of the error is line 1 according to the error message in my browser. But I can see where I’m going wrong?

This will work but has no sense 🙂

def new
  @jobs = Job.new
  @jobs.client= CLient.new
  respond_with @jobs
end

What do you want to put into your client textarea?
