Hey everyone,
I've got a basic setup via an apache2 server, virtualhost ect. At the
moment I'm just trying to use the send_file function of rails
(actionpack I believe?) but it continues to error out. Here is the
breakdown:
#Controller#
class Misc < ApplicationController
def stuff
send_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/downloads/test.txt")
end
end
#View#
<% a = Misc.new %>
<p><%= a.stuff %></p>
And this is the error I've been getting:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.update
Extracted source (around line #3):
2: <% a = Misc.new %>
3: <p><%= a.stuff %></p>
Trace yields the following:
vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/streaming.rb:139:in
`send_file_headers!'
vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/streaming.rb:72:in
`send_file'
app/controllers/home_controller.rb:16:in `stuff'
app/views/home/index.html.erb:3:in
`_run_erb_47app47views47home47index46html46erb'
Any suggestions?
*one thing i will note, dunno if it matters, is that rails 2.3.5 wouldnt
install - kept complaining about rack 1.0.0 runtime, so instead i
installed all the packages and dependencies separately via apt-get
install actionpack -v=2.3.4
ect ect, using 2.3.4 instead*
Thanks!
-Regards
Mac
