I wish the linking of the database was a bit more clear. My app was pulling in the credential in the database.yml file instead of simply linking via the DATABASE_URL environment variable. I had to comment out the credentials and then add url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %> to get it working. Too me a while to get this figured out, but Hatchbox.io isn't as seamless as presented in this video—there are missing steps.

How did open_letter receive your email with deliver_later? I had to switch to deliver_now on the notify method for this to work.

Update: If you want to user deliver_later in development, you can try the Solid Queue gem.

If you don't want to add the gem but want to test out open_letter, you can user deliver_now or add sleep to the end of the notify method as the other user suggested.

If you're getting an error of "no .page method for nil Object" reset your Rails server. I was debugging in the error page console and saw that no params were being passed through, but once I restarted my Rails server everything worked perfectly.

Is Sucker Punch necessary with Rails 8 now that Hotwire is integrated? I deployed my app to Fly.io and the background job is working without the added configuration suggested in this video.

I'm running Rails 8 and the respond_to links controller portion of the code is not needed for the immediate update on the frontend from the metadata job—link.broadcast_replace_to(link) works without any additional configuration. Does this have something to do with Hotwire or something specific in Rails 8?

Additionally, the clearing of the form field is also automatically cleared once a link is save. Is this also a newly baked in feature of Hotwire?

I understand the comments below regarding the frustration as a result of the refactoring process in this video because I do think it hinders the learning experience, especially on a video that is part of the beginner course. On the flip side, though, it's also nice to see the flow of consciousness process one might experience while programming.

In case this might help anyone, I had to add both the 'http' and https' version of the Render URL to the CORS configuration for it to function properly.

In case this happens to anyone else, I discovered the issue. For some reason the actiontext.css file was categorized as an "Untracked file" per git. I had to manually add the file to stage for commit (i.e., git add <file>). Additionally, it looks like additional Action Text and Action Storage files were all categorized as untracked (e.g., db migrations). These needed to be manually staged as well to ensure Action Text works.

When uploading to Render I receive the error of "ActionView::Template::Error (The asset "actiontext.css" is not present in the asset pipeline." Note: It works in the development environment.

Amazing! Sounds great, Collin. I’ll move ahead to those series and check back in when the Module video is available. Appreciate your response and the time you take to put these videos together—thank you.

Hey Collin, you mention the next video being on modules. Where are we able to find that video? Additionally, what series should we move onto once this one (i.e., Ruby for Beginners) is completed?
