[Rails basics] About errors when loading screens (NameError, LoadError)

This is the second post. Thank you. This time I would like to write an article about the error that occurred when loading the screen that occurred while making a personal application.

environment

Ruby: 2.5.1 RubyOnRais: 5.0.7

error contents

The error contents are the following two.

①　LoadError in EventsController#choise_artist Unable to autoload constant Set_list, expected ~ FesLive-app/app/models/set_list.rb to define it.

②　Name Error in EventsController#choise_artist uninitialized constant EventsController:Setlist

Solution

Solution of ①

The first error is that it cannot be autoloaded. First of all, Rails autoload is a "function that automatically requires files that follow naming conventions". This means that @set_lists = Set_list.all in the description below does not follow the naming convention. In fact, rails naming conventions don't allow underscores (_) for class names. Therefore, I was told that the Set_list class cannot be autoloaded.

class EventsController < ApplicationController
  
  def choise_artist
    @set_lists = Set_list.all
    @event = Event.find(params[:id])
  end
  
end

So, if you set "@set_lists = Setlist.all", you could break through the error of ①.

(2) Solution

I changed the notation of the class name so that autoload can be done, but this time I got a NameError error. uninitialized ⇒ uninitialized ⇒ because the class is not ready for use You can see that there seems to be a problem with how to specify the class name. When I actually went to see the Setlist model, the class name was "SetList" and L was capitalized. So I was told that the class name was wrong ~.

class SetList < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :event
end
this"@set_lists = SetList.If you say "all", you can break through this error.
