Creating default object from empty value warning, how to fix?

Question

I have this simple method in one of my objects:

public function action_buddy($name = 'buddy')
{
    $this->response->body = View::forge('hello', array(
        'name' => $name,
    ));
}

But I always get this warning and can't proceed futher:

Fuel\Core\PhpErrorException [ Warning ]: Creating default object from empty value

From this line:

$this->response->body = View::forge('hello', array(

How can I fix this warning?

p.s. I was following this tutorial http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-the-fuel-php-framework--net-21334

As @Alex pointed out it is because `$this->response` contains a `null` value. `$this->response` will only exist if something has created it. What is your controller extending? Is there a `before()` method that sets up `$this->response`? — Emlyn, Oct 12 '15 at 12:57
My point is: there is the same question with chosen answer. That's the only thing I wanted to say. — Alex, Oct 12 '15 at 13:47
As Uru said, there could be a parent controller, that sets up `$this->response` in `before` (or it should). So this could be a different question, though I also presume there's very little research effort in this question. @Tachi, as you can see, the exception is a `PhpErrorException`, so this is most probably NOT FuelPHP related. — Tamás Barta, Oct 12 '15 at 13:53

the tutorial you are using is really old, a lot of user also asked on that part. Anyway to answer your question, here it is:

    return View::forge('hello', array(
        'name' => $name,
    ));

OR

    // create the layout view
    $view = View::forge('hello');

    //local view variables, lazy rendering
    $view->name = $name;

    // return the view object to the Request
    return $view;

dont forget on your fuel/app/config/routes.php please comment

   //'hello(/:name)?' => array('welcome/hello', 'name' => 'hello'),
