'error_message_for' error

[cparvin]

Pg 166 of "Build you own Ruby on Rails Web Applications" calls for the code line

<%= error_message_for 'story' %>

resulting in:

NoMethodError in Story#new

Showing app/views/story/new.rhtml where line #1 raised:

undefined method `error_message_for' for #<#<Class:0x4a5eaac>:0x4a5ea84>

Extracted source (around line #1):

1: <%= error_message_for 'story' %>
2: <% form_for :story do |f| %>
3: <p>
4:    Name:<br />

does any one have any suggestions?

I haven't been doing rails that long but I thought it should be

error_messages_for

where message should have been messages.

If you ever need to check you can always do a search for the method at api.rubyonrails.org

Found it! I now have a sore forehead!

I used message (singular) instead of messages (plural)

Thanks for making me check the api!
