Rails form No Method Error

Question

I'm trying to put a simple form together, but I keep getting a no method error whenever I insert a form field into the html.

What's wrong here?

The Error:

undefined method `name' for #<Upload id: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>

new.html.erb

<h1>Uploads#new</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/uploads/new.html.erb</p>

<% form_for :upload, :url => uploads_path do |f| %>
<p>
    Name: <%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p><%= submit_tag "Create Upload" %></p>
<% end %>

upload.rb

class Upload < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :tasks


end

uploads_controller.rb

class UploadsController < ApplicationController
def index
@uploads = Upload.find(:all)
end

def new
@upload = Upload.new
end

def create
@upload = Upload.new(params[:project])
if @upload.save
    flash[:notice] = "Film successfully uploaded"
    redirect_to uploads_path
else
    render :action => 'new'
end
end
end

has_many :tasks. Is there a tasks.rb file/class?

From looking at the error, your upload model does not appear to have a name attribute. If you've added this, the maybe you have forgotten to migrate you database?

that's definitely not it. any other ideas?

@Adam appears to be right to me. Unless you are using a strange select query somewhere and renaming the name attribute but it doesn't look like it.
