3,706 PointsCan't get statuses to appear on profiles controller
I am currently on the "testing the profiles controller" exercise on "building a simple ruby on rails app" learning adventure.
I am having a problem because when I write the code to display the "statuses" (In my application I call them logs) it displays the html or the console information instead of the proper front end display with the image, and bootrap customization.
here is what is displayed when I run my app:
Log id: 1, description: "einstein", created_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:06", updated_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:06", user_id: 1, image_file_name: "93434191-einstein-tongue_custom-36fb0ce35776dc2d92e...", image_content_type: "image/jpeg", image_file_size: 52317, image_updated_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:03"
Here is the code I wrote in the profiles/show page:
<%= @user.username%>
<% @logs.each do |log| %> <%= log.inspect %> <% end %>
the log.content command doesn't work for me like in the lesson.
Any help would be appreciated!

20,485 PointsYou want log.description then since description is the column in your database explaining log.

I get the following output: undefined method `description' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation::ActiveRecord_Relation_Log:0x007ffe68f49958>

3,706 PointsNo I had researched a solution on stackoverflow and someone suggested to use inspect so I just tried it since the .content method didn't work
