Hello again,
So let's back up one step. Your error is "You have a nil object...",
let's prove that is true.
How about changing the
<%= link_to .... %>
to something simple like
<p>Product ID: <%= product %></p>
Then, when that gives you nil cut the loop out and insert a statement
that displays something meaningful from @products. If that produces a
nil that you have to look at how you got here (in the view) and what
was your assumption how @products got to have a value associated with
it.
This would be easier for you if you single stepped through a
debugger. You might consider it time well spent to learn how.
