undefined method `raw' for controller for rails 4

Question

Currently, I am upgrading my application from rails 3.2 to rails 4. When I navigate to a particular tab, I get the following error:

undefined method `raw' for #<LeaseController:0x00000006935e30>

My code:

        vacant.tenant = raw("Vacant")
        vacant.lease_start_date = raw("&nbsp;")
        vacant.rent_end = raw("&nbsp;")
        vacant.base_rent_monthly_amount = raw("")
        vacant.base_rent_annual_psf = raw("")
        vacant.options = raw("")
        vacant.security_deposit_amount = raw("")
        vacant.tis_amount = raw("")
        vacant.lcs_amount =raw("")

Why is this method now undefined?

it should be in your view helper, if it is there it should not shout for controller error. May be you have placed it in the wrong place, check it please — amit karsale, Oct 28 '13 at 12:02

This helper is depreceted. http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/RawOutputHelper

If you still want to use raw , try including

include ActionView::Helpers::OutputSafetyHelper

into your controller.

In rails 4 raw method is provided by ActionView::Helpers::OutputSafetyHelper

You can check out its documentation at:

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/OutputSafetyHelper.html

But most importantly this code belongs to view helpers, not controller.
