I'm trying to save a username along with profiles (User has_many Profiles; Profile belongs_to User). I had a portion of this working (updating user info) but I cannot create new user records. I get the following error:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.build
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Create record", "profile"=>{"company"=>"", "new_user_attributes"=>[{"username"=>"jlee", "active"=>"1"}], "new_someid_attributes"=>[{"someid"=>"123456789"}], "type_id"=>"2", "first_name"=>"Jeffrey", "last_name"=>"Lee"}, "authenticity_token"=>"65507986d1912380edf522b5b9f7ee3763c6dc0d"}
I am getting stuck on the profile model code below:
# Users def new_user_attributes=(user_attributes) user_attributes.each do |attributes| user.build(attributes) end end def existing_user_attributes=(user_attributes) user.reject(&:new_record?).each do |user| attributes = user_attributes[user.id.to_s] if attribute user.attributes = attributes else user.delete(email) end end end def save_user user.save(false) end
New method in profiles_controller: def new @profile = Profile.new @profile.user = User.new end
User partial: <div class="user"> <% new_or_existing = user.new_record? ? 'new' : 'existing' %> <% prefix = "profile[#{new_or_existing}_user_attributes]" %> <% fields_for prefix, user do |user_form| -%> <%= label :user_form, :user, "Username" %><%= user_form.text_field :username %> <%= user_form.hidden_field :active, :value => "1" %> <% end -%> </div>
