Create Messages 1 - error message - missing template

[codebabee]

Hi,

I am feeling really frustrated at the errors I keep encountering on the Ruby on Rails course. Currently, on exercise 5 I try to add the new action to the Messages controller

def new @message = Message.new end

However when I try to run this I get the following error message-

` Missing template messages/new, application/new with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>, :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :jbuilder, :coffee]}. Searched in:

• “#RSpec::Rails::ViewRendering::EmptyTemplatePathSetDecorator:0x00000002830660” `

and am unable to proceed.
Anyone know what this is about?
Many thanks

Hi @codebabee,

Can you can see the file app/views/messages/new.html.erb in the file browser in the code editor?

I’m having the exact same problem. I checked if there was said file in this directory and it is not there. What should I do next?

When you hover app/views/messages click on the three dots on the right side.
Choose New File and name it new.html.erb

Click run again and there you go

Just found out that when you’re in Associations I => 5. Show a tag, you will encounter the same ‘missing template error’.
Here you can use the same solutions as above(only need to replace new for show).
