I am new to ruby on rails and started learning in a french website called openclassroom. So in the instructions it tells me to create an html page using this command:
$ rails g controller pages home #we are launching our webpage
$ rails server #we launch our server
When I try accessing http://locahost:3000/pages/home it gives me an error. The screen looks like this...
Link to the image of the error message
Here's the page in the directory for app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Castor</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
This is my routes file which can be found in config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'pages/home'
end
This is my home page located in app/views/pages/home.html.erb
<h1>Pages#home</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/pages/home.html.erb</p>
Although I don't think the problems come from here. Here is my GemFile
