RailsTutorial/require test_helper

Question

I've been following the RailsTutorial.org book (I'm at Ch. 6) and had no problem making a page appear on 'localhost:3000', was able to edit the html.erb files and css to my heart's content...then suddenly, I receive an error in terminal:

ActionController::RoutingError (undefined local variable or method test_helper' for main:Object):app/controllers/static_pages_controller.rb:1:in '

As well as a, "We're sorry, but something went wrong." on localhost.

Here is my github push...

What can I do to get this back up and running?

Answer 1

You should remove require test_helper from the file app/controllers/static_pages_controller.rb . That line should only be into your tests since it is a helper designed for tests. And especially into the tests/models/user_test.rb file since you're on Chapter 6.
