It is not a matter of how you test for nil, it is a matter of how you
access the profile.  You suggest using
Profile.find_by_user_id(current_user.id) but you can just do
current_user.profile.  It is the same thing but much easier to
understand.  You can test for nil any way you like.

 Thanks colin, happy holidays again ha ha Ok so then i'm using `if  current_user.profile?` but the snippet is causing the error application.html.erb:59: syntax error, unexpected keyword_ensure, expecting end-of-input, even though  application.html.erb is only 57 lines

   <% user_signed_in? %>
   <% if current_user.profile? %>
    <%= "profile found" %>
   <% else %>
    <%= "profile not found" %>
   <% end %>
   <div class="dropdown">
    <button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown"><%= current_user.email %></button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu"><span class="caret"></span>
      <li><%= link_to('Profile', user_profile_path ) %></li>
      <li><a href="#">Account</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
      <li><%= link_to('Sign out', destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete) %></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <% else %>
   <div align=right>
    <%= link_to('User sign in', new_user_session_path) %>
   </div>
  <% end %>
