Nested forms validation problem

Hi All,

I'm trying to learn Ruby on Rails and have got an issue with the validation of a nested form. I think I have got it setup correctly as it appears to be saving the data as expected, but it is not wrapping the CSS class (field_with_errors) to the fields, and if data is entered into the nested fields it disappears on form submit (if there are validation errors). The validation messages are being displayed correctly.

Here are the relevant bits of code (some of the forms have been ommitted) - I am hoping somebody more experienced will be able to spot where I have gone wrong!

/app/models/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   has_one :feature   accepts_nested_attributes_for :feature end

/app/models/feature.rb

class Feature < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :user   validates :profile, :hobbies, :presence => true end

/app/views/users/_form.html.erb

<% @user.build_feature %> <%= form_for @user, :url => { :controller => :users, :action => "create" } do |user| %>

<%= user.text_field :email %>

<%= render :partial => 'features/form',   :locals => { :form => user } %>

/app/views/features/_form.html.erb

<%= form.fields_for :feature do |f| %> <%= f.text_area :profile %>

Debugging @user.errors shows the subform items are being outputted as follows:

:"feature.profile": can't be blank

Wheras the other form shows the error messages being output:

:first_name: can't be blank

I've googled this issue but haven't found anything that has worked - would appreciate any help!

Thanks

OK so I have had a bit of a breakthrough - the form works great when the association is changed to has_many rather than has_one

What do I need to change to get this working for a has_one association?

Thanks in advance!

well what the output params look like? you have tu take the feature from params and add it to user.
