You have missed out the options parameter.

select(object, method, choices, options = {}, html_options = {})

select(“post”, “person_id”, Person.find_all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id
] }, { :include_blank => true })

i experienced the same error
i changed :type into :status and then it works fine
i think :type is not allowed in select

I belive “type” is a method that returns the class of an Object and
its now deprecated.
So you wont be able to use it within your ror app.
