Hi,
I'm struggling with the simplest nested form and I can't really find any information about my problem after an hour of googling.
Here is the thing:
I have a contract model that belongs_to a kid model, I'm trying to create a form for contract and create at the same time with nested form, the kid.
so my "new" action does that
@contract = Contract.new @contract.kid.build
my form is (I'm using haml for the template):
- form_for :contract, @contract,:url => { :action => "create" }, :html => {:multipart => true} do |contract| - contract.fields_for :kid, @contract.kid do |kid| = kid.text_field :name
= contract.text_field :start = contract.text_field :end
= contract.submit "submit"
and at last my "create" action is:
@contract = Contract.new(params[:contract])
if !@contract.save respond_to do |format| format.html { render :action => "new" } end else respond_to do |format| format.html { redirect_to(@kid) } end
The problem is that I get an ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch on the line: @contract = Contract.new(params[:contract])
that says that it was expecting a Kid model with a particular hash and that instead it gets something with a different hash.
I can't figure out what's going on because if I try to create a Kid object on its own with params[:contract][:kid] it works, so I guess the kid object from the form is a good one.
Any clue anyone ? I would like to try to do the things right and as simple as possible without particular trick.
thanks
