NoMethodError at /delete/1 private method `delete'

Ruby
1

Hello,

I’m trying to work through the ‘Meet Sinatra’ PeepCode screencast and
I’m stuck trying to delete an entry.

I’m receiving this error while attempting to delete a file and database
entry:

NoMethodError at /delete/1
private method `delete’ called for #Ad:0x102949028

* file: adserver.rb
* location: GET /delete/:id
* line: 72

Here’s the entire adserver.rb file:
http://pastie.org/719776

Here’s the handler that’s causing problems:
http://pastie.org/719777

The error is being caused by: “ad.delete”

When the URL that is supposed to remove the file and delete the db entry
is visited (mysite.com/delete/1), the file is removed and then I receive
the error that I posted above.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you

First off, you should probably ask this question either on the sinatra
mailing list or the datamapper mailing list for a better and more
accurate response.

Second, without a full backtrace we can only speculate.

If the method is private, make it public… but it is probably private
for a reason. Looking at the API, you might want to call destroy
instead.
