NoMethodError when I try to acces a field of an object taken from the DB

Question

  Let\'s say that I have a model called Tweet with the following fields

• 1. id
• 2. content
• 3. created_at
• 4. user_id
<

Answer 1

@original is not a Tweet instance but an ActiveRecord::Relation

If you want to access the id of your Tweet directly you should define @original like this

@original = Tweet.find_by_id(64)

or

@original = Tweet.where(id: 64).first
