Uh, well. Not sure that's a good idea, but whatever. Does this app have decent test coverage? If not (and I'd bet I know the answer) then that might be a better place to spend time to start...

It means no records were found, so there's no 'first' to examine. You might want to learn about using the console (irb, or better yet pry) and trying out that line to see what it does, because I'd also bet it's not what you're expecting :-) Good luck, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [email protected] http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
