I am very new to rails an d I have this in my model
PreGit::Application.routes.draw do
resources :microposts
resources :users
match '/help', to:'static_pages#help'
match '/about', to:'static_pages#about'
match '/contact', to:'static_pages#contact'
root_path => '/'
root_url => 'http://localhost:3000/'
end
But when running bundle exec rake db:migrate
I get that :
syntax error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting kDO or '{' or '('
match '/help', to:'static_pages#help'
^
Someone could help
It seems like this is not a Rails issue but a Ruby version issue.
In Ruby 1.8.x the hash syntax was
:to => static_pages#help'
but Ruby 1.9.x supports
to:'static_pages#help'
so probably you are trying to run an app developed under Ruby 1.9.x under your Ruby 1.8.x
Try running the same app under Ruby 1.9.x
If you are using rvm then try this
rvm list
#will list all your ruby versions
If you have ruby 1.9.x installed
rvm use ruby-1.9.x
