nil object error

Reported by Josh | June 22nd, 2009 @ 02:31 AM

Hi, I used version 1 of SL and it worked great. Tried to follow directions for installing v2, and getting the following errors. Your help is greatly apreciated.

Rails v2.2.2

Only 1 model, no associations!

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

    What does your params[:search] hash look like?

    Good evening Ben.

    params[:search] should be nil, this is on the first load of the page before any search has been submitted.

    Thanks for your help.

    Oh and when I try from the console, I can create the search object without a problem. When I call s.all I get the same error as above.

    Thanks,

    Is there any way you can tell me how to recreate the problem. I can't do it for the life of me. I am using it just fine in a few apps of mine and everything I tried in the console worked fine.

    Yeah, thanks dwatts. Upgraded Rails to 2.3.2 and working like a charm.
