I'm seeing something strange and so far haven't been able to figure it out. First off, here's our setup:
MacOS X Tiger 10.4.10 (Intel) Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 1.2.3 PostgreSQL 8.2.3
I have a ton of apps that work great but a brand new app is giving me trouble.
I am getting an error indicating that the 'errors' method for the object doesn't exist. It should be inherited from the base AR class.
This app has a single model, 'Upload' that uses attachment_fu to take uploads.
Here's my code:
Model:
class Upload < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :storage => :file_system, :max_size => 5.megabytes end
Controller:
def new @upload = Upload.new if @upload.blank? end
View:
<% form_for :upload, @upload, :url => {:action => :create} do |form| %> <% if @upload != nil && !@upload.errors.empty? -%> <%= error_messages_for 'upload' %> <% end -%> <% end %>
The error I get is:
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `errors' for #<Upload:0x34e5e14>) on line #12 of app/views/uploads/new.rhtml:
12: <% if @upload != nil && !@upload.errors.empty? -%> 14: <%= error_messages_for 'upload' %> 15: <% end -%>
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/uploads/new.rhtml:12:in `_run_rhtml_47app47views47uploads47new46rhtml' /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb:151:in `fields_for' /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb:127:in `form_for' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/uploads/new.rhtml:4:in `_run_rhtml_47app47views47uploads47new46rhtml'
Huh?
When I put in some debugging code, it gets even more interesting:
I added this code to the controller:
logger.debug "Upload Class: #{@upload.class}" logger.debug @upload.methods
Ok, this should tell me more. Output:
Upload Class: Upload

So, it is the right class but the methods are wrong.
What the heck is going on here? When I create a new Upload object from the console, everything works properly and the methods are all there.
What gives?
Thanks, Hunter
