Rails basic index view with haml

I'm trying to get a basic index view to work using HAML instead of HTML, but I'm running into problems.

Here is my index view

%h1 
    Games
%ul
    - @games.each do |game|
    %li
        = game.title
        = game.summary

And I'm getting this error:

syntax error, unexpected keyword_ensure, expecting keyword_end

But I know haml doesn't require you to have end when you embed ruby on the view, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Solution

  • Be very careful with indentation in haml. You need to indent what's inside the each

    - @games.each do |game|
  %li
    = game.title
    = game.summary

    I would also suggest sticking to 2 spaces as that is pretty much accepted practice in Ruby/Rails.
