"undefined method `each'" error is derailing me

each is a method included with the Enumerable module. Many classes use it, including the internals of many rails classes.

I believe your issue is in the update method of the controller

def update

@project = Project.find(params[:id])

@project.people = Person.find(params[:addpersonid]) if

params[:addpersonid]

if @project.update_attributes(params[:project])

  flash[:notice] = 'Project was successfully updated.'

  redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @project

else

  render :action => 'edit'

end

end

It seems that you want to replace any existing persons with only one person, but you’ll need to wrap it in an array or similar. You could use

@project.people = [Person.find(params[:addpersonid])] if

params[:addpersonid]

since the = method on the association in a HABTM is looking for multiple objects it will call each on it’s argument to add each person to the association. ie

@project.people = [person1, person2, person3]

Will result somewhere in

[person1, person2, person3].each …

If what your after is to add another person to the projects people then you should use the contat method

@project.people << Person.find(params[:addpersonid]) if

params[:addpersonid]
