I do a create on an Active Record model in a controller and it's doing something strange. It's primary key (id) is nil, created/updated are nil as well.
A few of the columns/attributes are nil as well. The model instance gets created but the id is nil.
Rspec fails for the model because its id is nil (because it's being passed to other models)
Any ideas?
That sounds like the model wasn’t saved. Probably a failed validation or a before_save that returned false.

Debug the code directly using debugger, binding or pry.
try this (assuming thing is your variable)
thing.save
You should see a message "false" telling you that the object wasn't saved
then type
thing.errors
and you should see what the validation errors are -Jason
That was it ! Thanks!
