“undefined method” when calling helper method in ApplicationHelper module from controller in Rails3 app
Reported by inetufo | October 20th, 2010 @ 03:07 PM
I define a method in ApplicationHelper module
module ApplicationHelper
def mymethod
end
end
class MyController < ApplicationController
def show
mymethod
end end
When i call it from my controller, just get the "undefined method" message.

Are helper methods intended to be used in controllers?
I think helper methods MUST to be used only in views. -

Yes, helpers are meant to be used in Views not Controllers. If you want to use them in Controllers you can try to access them as
@template.mymethodbut i'm not it's a documented public way of doing it. There maybe other workaround to access them in controllers, feel free to investigate.
