Here is one I have not encountered :

c:/dev/cgi-bin/Project.rb:29:in projectCode': undefined method ’ for
nil
(NameError)

undefined method but I cannot see a problem with this

def projectCode
return @data[‘prj_id’]
end

It’s a runtime error (the most common one I see).
Apparently @data has the value nil when you
try to apply to it…
