Obviously it wouldn't. You're defining an instance method, and apparently trying to call it as if it were a class method. The problem is apparently in the line @company_id = company_id: since that's outside any method definition, self is the ApplicationController class, not an instance. You need to put this line inside an instance method for it to do what you want. If this is hard to understand, review the semantic and syntactical distinctions between class methods and instance methods in Ruby. > and why > would it have something to do with the routes if it's just a simple > method and a simple variable? I don't think it does have to do with routes.
