I am new to Rails. I followed the Getting Started Guide of Rails 5.1.4 to put up a blog. Everything is great.
However, in the next guide [Active Record Basics] in the Schema Conventions section we are introduced to a reserved column name called ‘(table_name)_count’. It says i can use ‘comments_count’ as a column name on the article model to get cached count of the comments associated with that article.
So i re-write my article index view like this:
<% @articles.each do |article| %> <%= article.comments_count %> <% end %>
When i reload the browser, i get the following error:
undefined method `comments_count’ for #Article:0x007fb51fb001b8 Did you mean? comments
What am i missing?
