  1. PORails form_tag form writing - with non-active record model
    text
    copied!<p>I'm somewhat of a Rails newbie. I'm writing a couchrest-rails app, so am not using activerecord for this model. I just figured out that that means that </p> <pre><code>form_for(@model) </code></pre> <p>won't work. I'm trying to work out how to use form_tag -- but most of the examples don't involve new &amp; create actions.</p> <p>This is wrong:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;New article&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;% form_tag new_article_url(@article), :method =&gt; :post do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.error_messages %&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= f.label :title %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :title %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= f.submit 'Create' %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;%= link_to 'Back', articles_path %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Because when I run my Cucumber scenario, I get this:</p> <pre><code>Scenario: Create Valid Article # features/article.feature:16 Given I have no articles # features/step_definitions /article_steps.rb:8 And I am on the list of articles # features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:6 /home/deploy/www/www.trackingplace.com/app/ccc/app/views/articles/new.html.erb:3: warning: multiple values for a block parameter (0 for 1) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_view/helpers/capture_helper.rb:36 When I follow "New Article" # features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:18 You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.error_messages (ActionView::TemplateError) features/article.feature:19:in `When I follow "New Article"' </code></pre> <p>But I don't understand the error, or how to fix it.</p>
