Hi all, I am trying to reproduce rails 3.2 behaviour with fields_for and nested attributes.
class ControllerAction < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :interactions, dependent: :destroy
has_many :roles, through: :interactions
scope :controllers, lambda {|name| where("controller_name_id = ?", name)}
scope :actions, lambda {|name| where("action_name_id = ?", name)}
def initialized_interactions() # this is the key method
[].tap do |o|
Role.all.each do |r|
if p = interactions.find { |p| p.role_id == r.id }
o << p.tap { |p| p.enable ||= true }
else
o << Interaction.new(:role_id => r.id)
end
end
end
end
end
class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :interactions
end
class Interaction < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :controller_action
belongs_to :role
attr_accessor :enable # nice little thingy here
# It is now recommended to use strong params instead of 'attr_accessible :enable, :controller_action_id, :role_id'
end
controller_actions_controller.rb … private # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions. def set_controller_action @controller_action = ControllerAction.find(params[:id]) end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def controller_action_params
params.require(:controller_action).permit!
end
controller_actions view - excluding error code and most css formatting. _form.rb
<%= form_for(@controller_action) do |f| %>
...
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<h2><%= f.label :role %></h2>
<%= f.fields_for :interactions, @controller_action.initialized_interactions() do |builder| %>
<% role = builder.object.role %>
<%= builder.hidden_field :role_id %>
<%= builder.check_box :enable %>
<%= builder.label :enable, role.name %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
Under rails 3.2.11 I get a form that allows the user to edit roles.
Editing controller_action
Under Rails 4.0 you get:-
undefined method `role' for #<Array:0xb875d4c>

## Request
**Parameters**:
{“id”=>“1”}
[Toggle session dump](http://localhost:3100/controller_actions/1/edit#)
[Toggle env dump](http://localhost:3100/controller_actions/1/edit#)
## Response
**Headers**:
None
Sorry about the verbosity but I am really struggling to solve this most basic use case.
I have tried to figure out why the form builder returns an array but and would write my own if I could figure out how to.
Any help appreciated.
