Rails jbuilder error: ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method - ruby-on-rails

I have a Rails 6 app and we're using jbuilder to define the shape of JSON responses.
Recently, I started getting the following error:
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `empty?' for #<Account:0x0000000116743030>):
The stack trace points to this block inside a jbuilder file:
json.account do
json.call(#account, *Account::APP_FIELDS)
json.logo_url #account.logo
end
If I comment out both of the lines inside the block, the error goes away. If I remove either of the lines and leave the other, the error returns. The stack trace just points me to the first line of the block.
What's going on? How do I fix this?

Figured it out!
Higher in the jbuilder file, a partial is included that adds the same account key. This was causing some kind of name collision.
I stumbled on this by temporarily testing with my key renamed accountt and suddenly it worked. That's when I realized it was conflicting name that was causing the issue. I didn't see it because it was in a different file and the error message was confusing. If your jbuilder file is complicated and you think you're running into this same issue, this is an easy way to test.

NoMethodError using order intermittently

I am getting the following error in a production rails application intermittently
NoMethodError (undefined method `values' on priority:Symbol.):
app/controllers/things_controller.rb:33:in `index'
The offending line looks like this:
#things = Thing.where(:some_column => 'some_value').order(:priority).reverse
Thing is an activerecord model.
The weird thing is, when I restart the application the error disappears. It is only under some strange set of circumstances that this happens (which I can't reproduce in preprod/dev environments).
Has anyone come across something like this before? Can anyone suggest how I would go about diagnosing this bug? The line in question doesn't seem to be the problem (the logs in production also don't show the full stacktrace)
After a length hair pulling session, I discovered that this is due to a bug in rubinius (2.2.10, and 2.2.9). The ActiveRecord query methods where and order both call enumerable#grep internally. After the application has been running for some time, or some unknown conditions are met, this function stops behaving correctly when the array contains symbols.
When a block is given as an argument to the grep function, this block will always be applied to the symbol elements of the array, regardless of the pattern given.

resque-web: NoMethodError at /failed undefined method `to_yaml'

Resque-web is up and running but when trying to view the failed jobs I get the following error:
NoMethodError at /failed
undefined method `to_yaml' for 3:Fixnum
The stack trace points to a 'to_yaml' call as mentioned in the error, it seems like resque-web is missing a requires. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to solve it?
Note: I'm running this locally on a rails 4 app.
You can see the reason here: https://github.com/resque/resque/issues/1143 -- it boils down to a temporary bug that is fixed, but not released yet. I fixed mine by adding
require 'yaml'
at the top of the server.rb file
note that the server.rb file on my machine was located at:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/resque-1.25.1/lib/resque/server.rb

Rails 3.2.13, 500 error in development with no log

I've got problem with migrating rails 2.x -> 3.2.13
At some point, after fixing a few things, I get Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 76ms without any traceback.
development.rb
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
Why there is no traceback and how to fix this?
you probably solved it but I wanted to share my couple of hours debugging about this issue as it can be very annoying. In short, I was having the same problem - 500 internal server error without any log of the exception thrown. It was happening only for exceptions thrown in the action view templates - any ActionView::Template::Error exception. For example, missing partial, invalid route.
My specific problem was using this ruby statistics module:
http://derrick.pallas.us/ruby-stats/
directly in the initializers directory which works great in rails 2.x. It defined Array.sum method which is already defined in rails 3 under Enumerable.sum. The problem with the redefine is that Array.sum no longer works with arrays of strings which is what rails was trying to do with ActionView::Template::Error.source_extract method - when trying to extract the source of the error in template, it uses the Enumerable.sum method which is redefined in a wrong way. Thus, another exception happened TypeError: cannot convert String into Fixnum and the original exception was not logged, neither was the new one. I had to do a backtrace and go through many of the internal calls to see where is the issue.
So, for everyone not seeing the actual exceptions thrown in your ActionView templates, check if you have not redefined a rails method that is used internally in rails.

SslRequirement.disable_ssl_check error undefined method?

I am working on an established project, Rails 3, and trying to turn of SSL in development. The following line in environments/development.rb generates an error.
config.after_initialize do
SslRequirement.disable_ssl_check = true
end
Error reads:
undefined method `disable_ssl_check=' for SslRequirement:Module (NoMethodError)
Any pointers to this?
Searches have revealed little so far.
Thank you
Based on the version number you provided (0.1.0) the problem is likely caused by the fact that you are using a different gem.
The one you use is ssl_requirement (repo), whereas the disable_ssl_check method is provided by bartt-ssl_requirement (repo). The latter one is actually a fork of the former one so you might try to upgrade.

NoMethodError in rails

The extracted source is below :
Showing /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/templates/rescues/diagnostics.erb where line # raised:

It was working before installing Sunspot: A Solr-Powered Search Engine for Ruby.
I am working in Ubuntu 10.04.
I'd need to see the full stacktrace to be sure, but this is actually probably an unhelpful HTTP connection error message bubbling up out of RSolr (the library the Sunspot uses for the low-level Solr connection). Is Solr running (i.e., did you run rake sunspot:solr:start)? Can you access http://localhost:8982/solr/admin ?
What's probably happening is you're attempting to do a substitution on some variable which you thought you were initializing, but neglected to give a real value.
For instance, if you had a form where for a Message and one of the the properties you want is the content, you would normally retrieve that information in the controller with
params[:message][:content]
And if you wanted to filter it, you would do something like
params[:message][:content].gsub(/<[^>]*>/,"")
But if the user didn't enter anything into the content field, the params[:message][:content] variable wouldn't be set. Therefore it's null and you're attempting to do nil.gsub
