Adding a micropost instance variable to the home action. app/controllers/pages_controller.rb</p> <p>Everything is supposed to be working. It isn't. I am just digging into rails for the very first time. since this was cut and paste code, I did not expect errors.</p> <p>I will be grateful for any help in leaning to debug this. Firure out if I cut and paste wrong, or if Michel's code example is not fully tested.</p> <p>Here is the rspec output:</p> <p>MPECHNER-MBP:sample_app michael.pechner$ rspec spec/ ..FF.............................................................................................FF....</p> <p>Failures:</p> <p>1) MicropostsController POST 'create' failure should not create a micropost Failure/Error: post :create, :micropost => @attr ActionView::Template::Error: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!

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).
