Problem in following Ruby 'Blog' Screencast

Hi all,

When attempting to follow the screencast, 'Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2', I've hit a problem when creating the 'partial'. As soon as the index.html.erb,

<h1>Listing posts</h1>

<%= render :partial => @posts %>

<%= link_to 'New post', new_post_path %>

with _post.html.erb.

<% div for post do %>   <h2><%= link_to_unless_current h(post.title), post %></h2>   <%= simple_format h(post.body) %> <% end %>

and show.html.erb,

<%= render :partial => @post %>

<p>   <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %> |   <%= link_to 'Destroy', @post, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure?" %>   <%= link_to 'See All Posts', posts_path %> </p>

I'm getting the following error:

SyntaxError in Posts#index

Showing app/views/posts/_post.html.erb where line #1 raised:

compile error /Users/michael/Desktop/rails_demo/blog/app/views/posts/_post.html.erb: 1: syntax error, unexpected kDO_BLOCK, expecting tCOLON2 or '[' or '.'             old_output_buffer = output_buffer;post = local_assigns [:post];object = local_assigns[:object];post_counter = local_assigns [:post_counter];;@output_buffer = ''; __in_erb_template=true ; div for post do ; @output_buffer.concat "\n"

Extracted source (around line #1):

Trace of template inclusion: app/views/posts/_post.html.erb, app/views/ posts/index.html.erb

Any ideas?

Take the "div" out of there ... that looks odd there.

Just looking over it, that looks like the problem (maybe). However, I haven't watched the new screencast ... so I can't really tell you.

Certainly does.

Also shouldn't it be

for post in @posts do    ... end

Unless there's some ruby cleverness I've missed.

HTH
