I am receiving the following error when trying to create Photo Shouts. I noticed that no records are being created in the Photo Shouts db table. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
'nil' is not an ActiveModel-compatible object that returns a valid partial path.
Here is the link to my github repository https://github.com/justinleveck/intermediate-rails
@halogenandtoast Is out of town right now, but I might be able to help.
Can you paste the full backtrace of the error? That would help.
I suspect you’re calling something like partial_path(@photo), but @photo is nil.

I have a hunch that shout.content is nil here: https://github.com/justinleveck/intermediate-rails/blob/master/app/views/shouts/_shout.html.erb#L4
I was checking out my console window running webrick and noticed it mentioned an error with a notice to install Image Magick.
Running the following command did the trick.
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
