rails3v5's Issues

The Tutorial is Broken

undefined method `stories_path' for #<#Class:0x00007feea8178f60:0x00007feea8192140>
Did you mean? stories_new_path

the above code is never actually solved.

After cross referencing enough times, there is a typo. Maybe because this is Rails 6.

I'll probably cancel my membership to SitePoint if this isn't fixed though. Very aggravating to purchase a defective product -- especially when it's a learning tool as it's difficult to know whether or not you have mistyped something or if it's the actual product.

Chapter 6: Controller test

I have been following along in the book and am trying to run the $ rails test:controllers command but my test is failing. I think its because the view isn't getting the story object properly?

Here is the output from the error message:

Run options: --seed 61443
