I am upgrading to rails 3 and afer diong so, none of my form\_for are working. (I can not actually say not all of them are working but the few that i have tried are not). The page loads fine but the form is not output. This is after making the the change from \<% to \<%=. A sample form is below. \<%= form\_for @user\_session, :url =\> user\_session\_path do |f| %\>   Email \
  \<%= text\_field\_tag :login %\>\
  Password \
  \<%= f.password\_field :password %\>\
  Remember Me   \<%= f.check\_box :remember\_me %\> \
  \<%= f.submit "Login" %\> \<% end %\> ---

hmmm... well i installed that plugin however i am still having no luck. form\_tag seems to work properly. my dev log does not give me any errors, just some depreciation warning unrelated to this problem. any ideas? ---

  \<%= text\_field\_tag :login %\>\
  Password \
  \<%= f.password\_field :password %\>\

solution found. there is apparently a conflict with an older version of haml. [https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/5493](https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/5493) install haml 3.0.18 or higher to resolve.
