Question

I am learning rails and I get a syntax error unexpected keyword else, expected keyword end on the following code and I don t know why.

<% if @quo.pro_con.nil? do %>
  <div class="procon">
    <%= f.label :pro_con %><br>
    <%= f.check_box :pro_con %>
  </div>
  <div class="comment">
    <%= f.label :comment %><br>
    <%= f.text_area :comment %>
  </div>
<% else %> 
  <p>
    <strong>Pro Con:</strong>
    <%= @quo.pro_con %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <strong>Comment:</strong>
    <%= @quo.comment %>
  </p>
<% end %> 

Why am I receiving the error, unexpected keyword else, expected keyword end?

Was it helpful?

Solution

if does not require do clause. The interpreter sees do and awaits end to match. Change your first line to:

<% if @quo.pro_con.nil? %>
