    <p>I'm new of Rails and I have a problem with a functional test that fails for undefined method in view :</p> <pre><code>1) Error: test_should_get_index(OrdersControllerTest): ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass app/views/orders/index.html.erb:19:in `_app_views_orders_index_html_erb__2011622583_2177866460_0' app/views/orders/index.html.erb:14:in `_app_views_orders_index_html_erb__2011622583_2177866460_0' app/controllers/orders_controller.rb:8:in `index' /test/functional/orders_controller_test.rb:9:in `test_should_get_index' </code></pre> <p>It is all ok in the browser, only the test fails.</p> <p>Here is the <code>views/orders/index.html.erb</code> file content:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% @orders.each do |order| %&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= order.name %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= order.address %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= order.email %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= order.pay_type.name %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p><code>Pay_type</code> is another table that contains the pay type name; in orders table there is a foreign key called <code>pay_type_id</code>. In the browser I see correctly the pay type name with <code>order.pay_type.name</code> statement, but functional test fails.</p> <p><code>test_should_get_index:</code></p> <pre><code> test "should get index" do get :index assert_response :success assert_not_nil assigns(:orders) end </code></pre> <p><em>orders fixtures:</em></p> <pre><code>one: name: Dave Thomas address: MyText email: dave@example.org pay_type_id: 1 two: name: MyString address: MyText email: MyString pay_type_id: 1 </code></pre> <p><em>paytypes fixtures:</em></p> <pre><code>one: id: 1 name: Check two: id: 2 name: Credit Card three: id: 3 name: Purchase Order </code></pre> <p>*orders_controller:*</p> <pre><code>def index @orders = Order.paginate :page=&gt;params[:page], :order=&gt;'created_at desc', :per_page =&gt; 10 respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml { render :xml =&gt; @orders } end end </code></pre> <p>Can somebody help me ? </p> <p>I added <code>raise Exception.new(@orders.inspect)</code> in the view and i get following error:</p> <pre><code>`1) Error: test_should_get_index(OrdersControllerTest): ActionView::Template::Error: [#&lt;Order id: 298486374, name: "MyString", address: "MyText", email: "MyString", created_at: "2013-02-12 14:05:11", updated_at: "2013-02-12 14:05:11", pay_type_id: 1&gt;, #&lt;Order id: 980190962, name: "Dave Thomas", address: "MyText", email: "dave@example.org", created_at: "2013-02-12 14:05:11", updated_at: "2013-02-12 14:05:11", pay_type_id: 1&gt;] app/views/orders/index.html.erb:14:in `_app_views_orders_index_html_erb__1955286768_2214618420_0' app/controllers/orders_controller.rb:8:in `index' /test/functional/orders_controller_test.rb:9:in `test_should_get_index'` </code></pre>

    1. COCan you post the code where you set `@orders` in your controller? Can you also try raising an exception in your view with `raise Exception.new(@orders.inspect)`

    3. COPut it just before `<% @orders.each do |order| %>`. This will allow you to see exactly what `@orders` looks like in your test. Please add the line, run the tests, and then post the output.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
