Hi Bill, Great answer ... just what I was hoping for:
Confirmation of my speculation and a Quick-and-dirty solution. The latter is important to my Rails education an a solution if I do that by accident with a client looking over my shoulder (which I hope starts happening in the Spring, despite the fact that I'm retired). Thank you very much for the help. Best wishes, Richard BTW: 1. I opted for restarting the development with a non-s-ending name. 2. I searched my faulty version for /cvs\./i and found two hits (with more to come if I continued this version): -- The one you mentioned in Payroll\app\controllers\cvs_controller.rb -- 2nd and 3rd ones in Payroll\test\functional\cvs_controller_test.rb On Nov 15, 5:49 pm, "Bill Walton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Richard, > > RichardOnRails wrote: > > Referencing the URLhttp://localhost:3000/cvsnetted me the > > response: > > “uninitialized constant CvsController::Cvs” > > with the trace information: > >app/controllers/cvs_controller.rb:5:in `index' > > > Lines 4-5 of the controller are: > > def index > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Cvs.find(:all) > > > The cause seems clearly related to item 3 below.
