When I include this def create @recipe = Recipe.new(@params['recipe']) @recipe.date = Date.today if @recipe.save redirect_to :action => 'list' else render_action 'new' end end I get this error when I go to url.../new " SyntaxError in <controller not set>#<action not set>" "app/controllers/recipe_controller.rb:19: formal argument cannot be an instance variable" This error occures on all the pages; list, edit, ect. If I remove the create method then the error goes away.

Showing messages 1 through 4 of 4.

  Actually one "end" is missing after the if-else block. That is why the "Create" method is not working. Put an extra "end" after the if-else and before the def-end.

  Ruby is saying that there is a syntax error on line 19, so they entire controller is not getting used.
  
  What's on line 19?

  The beginning of the create method... I have checked and rechecked this block of code but I can't find a mistake... I have also copy and pasted the provided at the beginning of the article. I've only been playing with ruby for about a month and this is my first time trying rails, although I have read throught the article before. I think I may just work through the tutorial again...starting from scratch and see if I have better luck... but I would like to know what I might have done wrong.

  You could download Instant Rails:
  
  http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/
  
  It contains this cookbook app as one of its preinstalled sample applications. There you'll find the complete, working source code and you can compare that code with yours.
