500 error: undefined local variable or method `user' #988

Closed 3point14guy closed 7 years ago

Trying to do a curl request to create an entry on my table and I get a 500 error:

{"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","exception":"#\u003cNameError: undefined local variable or method `user' for #\u003cClass:0x007f82048e1088\u003e\u003e",

Researching this error on Google it makes me think that the error is indicating that I need to define a user, but the table I am working with does not have a user column.

There were plenty of issues in the issue queue about 500 errors, but none that talked about a undefined local variable.

Does it give you a line number for that error? Can you post the curl request and the controller code?

Turns out it did in terminal where the server was running. It pointed me right to the problem: now got 404. Will close this one and open a new one if I continue to have problems.

Thanks!
