Simply Rails 2 Ch 7 Fix for the Voting

[basicwebus]

I had problems with my voting working correctly after I worked through the book up to page 238. It was not adding the votes when I clicked the shove it button.

I checked errors on the server command window and found that there was an end missing from the votes_controller.rb file. There must be three end listed there. Even copying the code archive showed only two. After I added the third end at the end of the file it worked. The code that worked is listed below. Hope this helps someone else having this voting problem.

class VotesController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @story = Story.find(params[:story_id])
    @story.votes.create
 
 respond_to do |format|
   format.html { redirect_to @story }
   format.js
    end
  end
end

The 14-votes_controller.rb file in the chapter07 folder of the code archive has 3 "end"s.

class VotesController < ApplicationController
 
  def create
    @story = Story.find(params[:story_id])
    @story.votes.create
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to @story }
      format.js
    end
  end
 
end

Maybe the empty line before the last one messed up for you somehow?

Sorry, I didn't think to check the code archive on this one. I like to type the code myself first, see if I can work out the problems, and then if I can't figure it out I check the code archive. Since I was able to figure out the problem, I didn't think to check that file.

Thanks for letting me know. I checked that file and it sure does have all those end on there!
