On line #17 of app/views/notifier/promotion_reminder.html.haml

14:

16:           = f

How would you accomplish this?

Answer 1

Problem is with using both for and each. Try this:

- ["love", "hate", "war"].each do |f|
  = f

or this:

- for f in ["love", "hate", "war"] do
  = f

I don’t use haml. Does it need end to close block?
