saving record and it's association

rubyonrails-talk

Hi all,

I have a user that has one activation.

When a user is created I want to generate an activation key

I tried in the create usercontroller     @user = User.new(params[:user])     @user.activation << Activation.new()

I get: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.<<

I want to save the user and it's association (activation). How can I do this?

thanks Stijn

Assuming activation is a singular association (ie not a has many) then
you should be using = not <<
