Undefined method search_form_for for ransack gem

[Puneet Pandey]

Hi Folks,

Hope you guys are doing good!

I am using ransack gem in my project and while generating the form for it, I am getting "undefined method 'search_form_for' for Class Object"

Here's the code snippet:

#Gemfile

gem "ransack"

#{PATH_TO_APP}/vendor/engines/my_engine/app/controllers/home_controller.rb

class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index

    @search = User.ransack( params[:q] )

  end

end

#{PATH_TO_APP}/vendor/engines/my_engine/app/views/home/index.html.erb

<%= search_form_for @search, url: my_url, method: :post do | f | %>

  <%= f.submit "Search" %>

<% end %>

​Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for the help!​

In addition to my last email, environment details are:

Ruby: 1.9.3

Rails: 3.2.13

Ransack: 1.7.0

So, after troubleshooting this in depth, I found that, Ransack form helpers were not getting called inside views. So, in application_helper.rb, I called it explicitly:

module ApplicationHelper

  include Ransack::Helpers::FormHelper

end
