undefined local variable or method `end_form_tag'

I have this code on _search_boxes.html.erb 

    <%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) %>
    <%= text_field_tag :q %>
    <%= submit_tag "Search" %>
    <%= end_form_tag %>

but the last line shows that undefined local variable or method `end_form_tag' error

The proper code should look like this:

<%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) do %>
<%= text_field_tag :q %>
<%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<% end %>

You shouldn't need an = in the <%= end %> the only times you use = would be when you have some ruby code to show in the application. Hope this helps!

<%end_form_tag %> works with Rails versions prior 3 and now it is deprecated.Instead use <%end%> or even just using </form> will also works.

So your should looks like this

<%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) %>
<%= text_field_tag :q %>
<%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<% end %>

Update

you are missing a do in your form_tag and remove = in <%= end %>.It should be like this

<%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) do %>
    <%= text_field_tag :q %>
    <%= submit_tag "Search" %>
    <% end %>

<%= form_tag('/search', method: :get) do -%>
  <%= text_field_tag 'q' %>
  <%= submit_tag 'Save' %>
<% end -%>

Just use <% end %> instead of <% end_form_tag %>.<% end_form_tag %> is now deprecated.

<%= end_form_tag %> is deprecated.

Just use

<%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) %>
<%= text_field_tag :q %>
<%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<%= end %>
