    <p>I'm writing a few basic step instructions in Cucumber, and can't figure out why it's throwing up a "method missing" error. Here's the precise error:</p> <pre><code>undefined method `question' for nil:NilClass (ActionView::Template::Error) </code></pre> <p>The root of this error is this line from my index.html.erb page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p id="question"&gt;&lt;%= @question.question %&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>So it looks like the test thinks that @question is nil. I'm not sure why it thinks this. What should I change in my step instructions? Here they are:</p> <pre><code>Given /^a question$/ do @question = Question.create!(:question =&gt; "here's my question..", :answer =&gt; "right_answer", :num =&gt; "1") end When /^I answer the question$/ do visit root_path fill_in "Answer", :with =&gt; "Wrong answer" click_button "Submit answer" end </code></pre> <p>The first step instruction passes, but the second does not. </p> <hr> <p>EDIT: Here's my entire index.html.erb page, in case it's useful:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% title "Questions" %&gt; &lt;p id="question"&gt;&lt;%= @question.question %&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;%= form_for @user_answer do |f| %&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;%= f.label :answer %&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;%= f.text_field :answer %&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sign_up_button"&gt;&lt;%= f.submit "Submit answer" %&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;%= link_to "New Question", new_question_path %&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p>EDIT: My Question model, in case it's useful:</p> <pre><code>class Question include MongoMapper::Document key :question, String, :required =&gt; true key :answer, String, :required =&gt; true key :num, String, :required =&gt; true </code></pre>

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.
