' undefined method `where' for Country:Class ' it is working for my states and cites tables. Y so with countries table??

Answer 1

Do you have a Country model?

rails-app/app/models/country.rb

class Country < ActiveRecord::Base
end

A way to test if your Country model is working is:

$ rails console

> Country.all

Should show you all the records in your countries table.
