hi im just wondering if why the build_book_reservation is not working

this is my applicationcontroller

     helper :all # include all helpers, all the time

     private def current_reservation    @reservation ||= Reservation.find(session[:reservation_id]) if session[:reservation_id]    #last assigned value will be returned as default. end

def create_reservation_session(id)    session[:reservation_id] = id end

def destroy_reservation_session    session[:reservation_id] = nil end and im trying to use it here

def new    @book_reservation = BookReservation.new end

def create   @reservation = current_reservation   @book_reservation=@reservation.build_book_reservation(params[:book_reservation])   if @book_reservation.save     #If success set session     create_reservation_session(@reservation.id)     #redirect_to root_url, :notice => "Successfully created book reservation."   else     render :action => 'new'   end end it raises undefined methodbuild_book_reservation' for nil:NilClass` error

model/book_reservation.rb

belongs_to :reservation model/reservation.rb

has_one :book_reservation

Then I guess current_reservation must be returning nil.

hi mr collin is my session correct in getting the current reservation? private def current_reservation    @reservation ||= Reservation.find(session[:reservation_id]) if session[:reservation_id]    #last assigned value will be returned as default. end

def create_reservation_session(id)    session[:reservation_id] = id end

def destroy_reservation_session    session[:reservation_id] = nil end

Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread, insert your replies inline at appropriate points in previous message. Thanks.

I don't know whether your session is correct. Have a look at the Rails Guide on debugging to see suggestions on how to debug your code. Then you can work out exactly where it is going wrong.
