Hi all,
I hope I got the title right. Here is my noob problem. I have one controller 'user' and a layout for it (also 'user'). This layout displays 3 columns side by side:
- a search box on the left that shows results via view in /user/search (through method 'search' in controller) - a display column (through :yield in the controller) - a shopping list of items with any changes (through a partial in the controller)
My problem is in the shopping list. The partial is rendered using:
<%= render(:partial => "list", :object => @list) %>
Where @list is a controller class variable. However when I invoke the search action I get this error:
NoMethodError in User#search Showing app/views/user/_list.rhtml where line #3 raised:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.items
So I guess the @list array is unavailable in the search view? Does search not inherit from the controller? How can I make it see @list.
Thanks in advance, sorry if this is really easy,
W
