Hello,
I'm encountering a very strange issue and I've identified behavior I don't quite understand. I have a design in which a "full model" exists with sub-screens for each of the pages worth of data input. Each screen goes through validation, and then updates the overall model with the validated input, as well as saving the screen's information to a specific "screen" table.
For instance:
class FullQuoteHoModel < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :full_quote_ho has_one :full_quote_ho_loc has_one :full_quote_ho_cov has_one :full_quote_ho_additional_coverage
end
class FullQuoteHo < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :full_quote_ho_model end
class FullQuoteHoLoc < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :full_quote_ho_model end
class FullQuoteHoCov < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :full_quote_ho_model end
class FullQuoteHoAdditionalCoverage < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :full_quote_ho_model end
FullQuoteHoModel is the "entire" model, with each of the others as "sub-screens" that accept inputs, validate them, save the values to their tables, and also update the accepted, validated inputs into the "entire" model.
I only want index/show/new/destroy in the FullQuoteHoModel, and I only want new/create/edit/update in the sub-screens. I do this in the routes file as follows:
map.resources :full_quote_ho_models, :except => [:edit, :update, :create], :requirements => {:id => /[0-9]+/} do |full_quote_ho_model| full_quote_ho_model.resources :full_quote_ho_additional_coverages, :only => [:new, :create, :edit, :update], :requirements => {:id => /[0-9]+/}, :name_prefix => nil full_quote_ho_model.resources :full_quote_ho_covs, :only => [:new, :create, :edit, :update], :requirements => {:id => /[0-9]+/}, :name_prefix => nil full_quote_ho_model.resources :full_quote_ho_locs, :only => [:new, :create, :edit, :update], :requirements => {:id => /[0-9]+/}, :name_prefix => nil full_quote_ho_model.resources :full_quote_hos, :only => [:new, :create, :edit, :update], :requirements => {:id => /[0-9]+/}, :name_prefix => nil end
Now, when I create a new full quote ho model from the FullQuoteHoModel index screen, I can create each of the screens just fine, as well as the overall model (for testing purposes, there is no validation above, so I create empty records that are assigned system-generated IDs).
When I access any screen from the FullQuoteHoModel, if it has the same ID path as the FullQuoteHoModel, things show up and work as intended. However, if the ID of the screen is not the same as the FullQuoteHoModel, then I receive the following error:
ActionController::RoutingError in Full_quote_hos#edit

This is an issue because currently, a user can create a new FullQuoteHoModel, fill out two screens, then hit Back and go to the FullQuoteHoModel index, maybe create a new FullQuoteHoModel, fill out all screens, then decide to return to the first one and create the remaining two screens. The IDs are then out of sync (which isn't unintended behavior - technically speaking, no matter what the ID of the screen, it belongs to one and only one FullQuoteHoModel) and trying to go back and edit that screen doesn't show up. Is this a routing issue (the generated URLs, maybe)? Or something else?
The index page shows the ability to create or edit screens as follows per FullQuoteHoModel record:
<% @full_quote_ho_models.each do |full_quote_ho_model| %> <tr> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.inception_date %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.policy_form %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.applicants_first_name %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.applicants_middle_initial %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.applicants_last_name %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.applicants_ssn %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_address_1 %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_address_2 %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_zip_code %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_county %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_city %></td> <td><%=h full_quote_ho_model.property_state %></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="1"><%= link_to 'Show', full_quote_ho_model %></td>

<td colspan="1"><%= link_to 'Destroy', full_quote_ho_model, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %></td> </tr>
If I try and alter the generated URLs to not include IDs, I receive errors. I know the ordering of the IDs is appropriate. The pathing should be as it currently is: /full_quote_ho_models/#/full_quote_ho/# or /full_quote_ho_models/#/full_quote_ho_locs/#, etc.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
