I have an Object, Ball, which belongs_to a Girl, which can have_many balls. Everything works for the most part, but if I try to print out the girls' name via:
@balls.each do |b|
b.girl.name
end
I get the following error:
"undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass"
Which really confuses me. If I say b.girl.class, I get it as an instance of Girl, just fine. That is, it isn't "NillClass".
Not only that, if I just try it for any Ball, and say
@ball.girl.name
I'm perfectly fine.
What is it about a collection of Balls that is screwing me up?
Edit:
Specifically this is happening in my view. I'm doing testing now to see if it happens in the controller, too.
