Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application > Frontend Development > ERB Loops

Hi everyone,

I was doing the ERB loops code challenge by Jim Hoskins and ran into a problem. In task one it asks me to: "Wrap the status div with an erb each loop. Use the @statuses variable's .each method, and use a ruby block that uses a local parameter called status."

Here is what passed:

<div class="page-header">
  <h1>All Statuses</h1>
</div>

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
  <div class="status">
<% end %>
    <h2></h2>
    <p> </p>
  </div>

Nothing else worked for me. Then in order to pass task two which asked: "Use an erb output tag to place the name of each status, using the status.name method." I needed to put the loop all the way around the div like this:

<div class="page-header">
  <h1>All Statuses</h1>
</div>

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
  <div class="status">
    <h2>Name: <%= status.name %></h2>
    <p> </p>
  </div>
<% end %>

Is it just me, or is something wrong?

It looks like you got a little ahead of yourself and changed the h2: <h2>Name: <%= status.name %></h2>

This worked for me for "Wrap the status div with an erb each loop. Use the @statuses variable's .each method, and use a ruby block that uses a local parameter called status. Question 1 of 3":

<div class="page-header"> <h1>All Statuses</h1> </div>

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>

<div class="status"> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> </div> <% end %>

I mean this:

<div class="page-header">

<h1>All Statuses</h1> </div>

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>

<div class="status"> <h2> </h2> <p> </p> </div> <% end %>

You haven't used @status. It's an instance variable.
