[Nitro] Q about helper :form

Fri Aug 4 18:18:11 EDT 2006

Hi,

i'am now at the end of the first screencast and have stopped and started
the demo.rb.

I was very suprised to get the following error:

---
ruby demo.rb
./controller.rb:2: undefined method `helper' for Hello:Class (NoMethodError)
        from /home/al/progs/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from demo.rb:10
---

The demo.rb is now:

---
require 'rubygems'
# or
# ruby -rubygems demo.rb

require 'nitro'
require 'og'

require 'part/admin'
require 'model'
require 'controller'

# default sqllite3
Og.start

Nitro.start Hello
---

the controller.rb
---
class Hello
  helper :form

  def index
    %{

      Hello World
      <br/>
      <a href="test"> test</a>
      <br/>
      <a href="list"> list</a>
    }
  end

  # lets refactor a bit
  def list
    @users = User.all
  end

  def delete(oid)
    User.delete(oid)
    redirect_to_referer
  end

  # intelligent dispatching = no rewrite rules!!
  def test(name,pass)
    %{
      The Time is #{Time.now}.
      <br/><br/>
      The name is #{name}.
      <br/>
      The pass is #{pass}.
    }
  end

  def another
    @hello = 'Hello from controller'
  end

  def init_db
    User.create 'gsmox'
    User.create 'stella'
    User.create 'tassos'
    redirect_to_referer
  end
end
---

and the list.xhtml
---
<html>
  <h1> User List </h1>

  <ul unless="@users.empty?">
    <li for="user in @users"> #{user} (<a href="delete/#{user.oid}">delete</a>)</li>
  </ul>
    <span if="@users.empty?"> No users </span>

  <hr/>

  #{form_for User.find_by_name('gsmox')}
</html>
---

The unbelivable for me is if i remove the 'helper :form' and start after
the start i add this line back the reload is ok without a error
message?!

Does anybody understand this?!

Regards

Alex
