I have got this error message when using rails3 consol

=> WebtrisulContext id: 1, name: "Primary", internal_name: "", description: "The default Web Trisul context", slinkname: "root_ctx0", webtrisul_dashboard_id: nil

please help me to get out of this?

Answer 1

There is something wrong with your WebtrisulMenu class. It's not getting initialized when Rails environment is loaded as the nilclass error tells me.

Therefore, You are unable to do find on the WebtrisulMenu model.

See for anything wrong in this model, and if you can't figure it out yourself, post the contents of the file here.
