'undefined method `title' for nil:NilClass' Error

I'm getting this error... but everything was working fine up until this point.

In 'Rails Routes & Resources: Creating a View'.

undefined method `title' for nil:NilClass Extracted source (around line #1): 1 <h1><%= @page.title %></h1> 2 3 4 <p><%= @page.body %></p>

Screenshot of my .rb & .erb files

I cannot move forward on my Ruby Track until I get this figured out. Anyone?

Thanks!

Not sure if this is the only issue since I am not able to run your code but at least part of the issue is that you have a small syntax difference in your show method (page rather than Page). Try fixing that and see what happens.

Been there done that Justin! Those little things often seem to be the hardest to spot.

Glad to have helped and happy coding!

Hi Justin Whedon!

Which video are you currently working on/having trouble with? In your post, you mention the "Creating a View" lesson but in that video all Jay does is add an H1 header in the index.html.erb template. You have more code than that in your screenshots so I am not quite sure where you are in the course and where you started running into problems.

Also, can you share a link to a GitHub repo or a Snapshot of your Workspace so that we can see, test, and troubleshoot the code first hand?

Thanks!
