Hello Colin these are the results I got

#<Role:0x000000061d80e8>
An invalid value. As I stated in my question this is similar to *<% rolename =
Role.select("role_name").where(id: user.roleid) %> *but "where" and "select"
are inter changed. So same invalid value.

private method `select' called for nil:NilClass
Wouldn't work in my case because, I think it requires an Association
between user and role table. And there *Must *be a field on both tables
named "role_name". Which doesn't exist

undefined method `role_name' for

undefined method `role_name' for nil:NilClass
This also need same field name role_name in both tables which doesn't exist.
Thank you
