Rails commits change from form, but nothing written to DB - ruby-on-rails

I think there must be something simple that I'm not setting up correctly, but I cannot figure out this behavior. The user submits and edit form, rails log shows the change is committed, but when I load the record again, it's still the same.
Here's the form
<%= form_for(#deal) do |f| %>
<div class="deal-<%= #deal.id %>">
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :headline %><br />
<%= f.text_field :headline, required: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :matter %>
<%= f.text_field :matter %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :summary %>
<%= f.text_area :summary %>
</div>
<%= f.submit "Update" %>
</div>
<% end %>
and relevant parts of controller
def edit
#deal = Deal.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#deal = Deal.find(params[:id])
if #deal.save
flash[:success] = 'Your deal was updated'
redirect_to root_path
else
render 'edit'
end
end
And the output on submit

Unable to access current_user in controller to save relation

I have a Rails 6 project, I am Citusdata/activerecord-multi-tenant gem to handle my row based MultiTenancy I am trying to create a TimeSheet for a User
as it is right now I can't access current_user to save the relationship. My console output is not helpful at all:
It is connecting the relationship to the account model and auto saves my account_id, but fails to collect the user.id or current_user.id
I can drop a byebug in both new and create blocks, however when I pass the byebug below #time_sheet.save it comes back as nil.
Im stuck here, not sure where I'm going wrong here? I have done this plenty in the past.
Here is how its all set up:
class User < ApplicationRecord
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :username, use: :slugged
multi_tenant :account
belongs_to :role
has_many :time_sheets
end
class TimeSheet < ApplicationRecord
multi_tenant :account
belongs_to :user (user_id in schema)
end
class TimeSheetsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
def new
#user = current_user
#time_sheet = TimeSheet.new
end
def create
#user = current_user
#time_sheet = TimeSheet.new(time_sheet_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #time_sheet.save
format.html { redirect_to #time_sheet, flash: { success: "#{#time_sheet.start_date} - #{#time_sheet.end_date} has been sucessfully created." } }
else
format.html { render :new }
end
end
end
end
My new time sheet form
<%= form_for(#time_sheet, :html => { class: "flex w-full items-center mt-64" }) do |f| %>
<% if #time_sheet.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">

<ul>
<% #time_sheet.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>

<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="w-full text-center">
<p class="text-3xl text-primary-700 mb-16">New Time Sheet</p>
<div class="flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center">

Looks like you are not passing the user_id correctly when creating the time_sheet.
Change your new method to include the current_user id by merging it into your time_sheet_params like this:
#time_sheet = TimeSheet.new(time_sheet_params.merge(user_id: current_user.id)

Form does not submit data

I have a form that has a few fields that should populate to my database which it doesn't. I am unsure why this is. I defined the parameters which fixed another error but my data is not being stored. My table name is users.
My controller:
Class LandlordPageController < ApplicationController
before_action :get_user
def get_user
#user = current_User
end
def index
end
def show
end
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
#user.save
redirect_to profile_page_index_path
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:address, :cityResiding, :ssn, :birthDate, :gender, :phoneNumber)
end
end
My form:
<%= form_for :user do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%=f.label :address, 'Current Address' %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :address, :required => 'required' %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%=f.label :cityResiding, 'Current City' %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :cityResiding, :required => 'required' %>
</div>
<div class="field">

EDIT: My form does submit data but this error is being thrown on save
NoMethodError in LandlordPageController#create
undefined method `save' for #<Array:0x0000000d883a08>
Instead of new I went with update and removed the save, because the new already executed saving the parameters and save was trying to save nil parameters. I was not creating a new user but meaning to add new parameters to an existing user. This is why the error occured. The full final code is below.
def create
respond_to do |format|
if User.update(user_params)
format.html { redirect_to profile_page_index_path, notice: 'Landlord application successfully submitted.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #user }
else
format.html { redirect_to profile_page_index_path, notice: 'Landlord application was not successfully submitted.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
As has been said, the issue is probably validation errors.
If you mean to update the user, you will need to use the update method instead and pass the user to the form
form_for #user
That will send a PATCH request to the update method on the controller once the form is submitted.
def update
#user.update user_params
if ! #user.valid?
flash[:error] = #user.errors.full_messages
end
redirect_to profile_page_index_path
end

Rails form_for edit not saving changes

I'm new to rails and having trouble getting my edit form to update attributes.
Here is my routes.rb for project and note:
resources :projects do
resources :notes
end
And this is my form_for in views/notes/edit.html.erb:
<%= form_for [#project, #note] do |f| %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :body %>
<%= f.text_area :body, rows: 10, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="action">
<%= f.submit "Save Note", class: "btn btn-success" %>
</div>
<% end %>
And finally this is my notes_controller.rb:
class NotesController < ApplicationController
before_action :find_note, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def index
#notes = Note.all
end
def new
#project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
#note = #project.notes.new
end
def create
#project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
#note = #project.notes.build(note_params)
#note.project = #project
#note.save ? flash[:notice] = "Note created." : flash[:error] = "Note could not be created, please try again."
redirect_to [current_user, #project]
end
def show
end
def edit
end
def update
if #note.update_attributes(note_params)
#note.save
flash[:notice] = "Note updated."
redirect_to authenticated_root_path
else
flash[:error] = "Could not update note."
render :edit
end
end
def destroy
#note.delete ? flash[:notice] = "Note deleted." : flash[:error] = "Note could not be deleted."
redirect_to user_project_path
end
private
def note_params
params.require(:note).permit(:title, :body)
end
def find_note
#project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
#note = #project.notes.find(params[:id])
end
end
This is what my terminal is outputting:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
If you are using #project.notes.build(note_params).
No need of this #note.project = #project in create action
and in update
if you are using #note.update_attributes(note_params)
this is not required #note.save
and its better try to debug it using #note.update_attributes!(note_params)
it will give you why its not able to save.
<%= form_for [#project, #note], :url => project_note_path(#project,#note), :method => :put do |f| %>

Error validations failing in Rails 4 when using form_for

I have a Rails app that builds both a User and an Organization when the first User signs up (User belongs_to Organization). This works fine, and if you fail to put in e.g. the email address (or use an incorrect one) then the form renders the relevant rails error messages just fine. I have additional logic that ensures the first User to sign up an Organization becomes the Admin User of that Organization, and they are permitted to add other users to the site too. If you try and sign up with an existing Organization name it's not permitted.
My tests are all fine, and I'm using the skeleton logic for authentication and authorization provided by the Hartl tutorial (not the new draft one). What I recently noticed was that when an Admin User inputs a blank form for a new user, the app returns to the Organization page and displays a success message. No User object is built (so some part of the app is still working) - I just don't want this to happen (I want the error messages displayed). I can't quite work out what is happening here - why wouldn't the "validates" statements return the errors in this case? Anyway - here's my code:
User.rb:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :organization
has_many :sales_opportunities
before_save { self.email = email.downcase }
before_destroy :allocate_sales_opportunities_to_admin
before_create :create_remember_token
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-]+(?:\.[a-z\d\-]+)*\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }
has_secure_password
validates :password, length: { minimum: 6 }
validates :organization, presence: true
Organization.rb:
class Organization < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :organization_name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }, uniqueness: true
has_many :users, :inverse_of => :organization, dependent: :destroy
has_many :companies, :inverse_of => :organization, dependent: :destroy
has_many :products, :inverse_of => :organization, dependent: :destroy
has_many :competitors, :inverse_of => :organization, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :users
after_create :set_admin
def users_for_form
collection = users.where(organization_id: id)
collection.any? ? collection : users.build
end
private
def set_admin
if self.users.count == 1
self.users.first.update_attribute(:admin, true)
else
return true
end
end
end
Users controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:index, :edit, :update]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update, :show]
before_action :admin_user, only: :destroy
def update
if #user.update_attributes(user_params)
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def create
if signed_in?
#organization = Organization.find(params[:organization_id])
#organization.users.create(user_params)
flash[:success] = "You added a new user to your organization. Send them their login details today!"
redirect_to #organization
else
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Thanks for signing up with My App! This is your profile page, be sure to take a look at the support link in the footer"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, organization_attributes: [:organization_name, :organization_id])
end
#before filters
def signed_in_user
unless signed_in?
store_location
redirect_to signin_url, notice: "Please sign in." unless signed_in?
end
end
def admin_user
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user.admin?
end
def correct_user
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#organization = #user.organization
redirect_to root_url, notice: "You are not permitted to visit that page. Please create an account or sign in" unless current_user?(#user) || #user.organization == current_user.organization
end
end
Organization's controller:
class OrganizationsController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:edit, :update, :show]
before_action :correct_org, only: [:edit, :update, :show]
def new
#organization = Organization.new
#organization.users.build
end
def create
#organization = Organization.new(organization_params)
if #organization.save
#user = #organization.users.first
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Thanks for signing up with My App! This is your profile page, be sure to take a look at the support link in the footer"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
I'm sure I've got some ugly code in here (the Organizations and Users features were the first new functionality I built when learning RoR and deviating from the Hartl course), and I can't quite work out why the validations are working (no User object is created) when the error message handling is not. For completeness here's the add user form:
<% provide(:title, 'Add more users to your organization') %>
<div class-"container-fluid">

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">

I think it's something to do with the way I'm handling creating a new user, after further testing. The following code is almost certainly where the error lies:
def create
if signed_in?
#organization = Organization.find(params[:organization_id])
#organization.users.create(user_params)
flash[:success] = "You added a new user to your organization. Send them their login details today!"
redirect_to #organization
else
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Thanks for signing up with My App! This is your profile page, be sure to take a look at the support link in the footer"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
end
Where I'm testing if the User is signed in, the choice either leads to adding a new user to the current organization or creating both from scratch. What I need is a way to test whether #organization.users.create was successful (or maybe I need #organization.users.new) and if it fails the validations then I need to render "users/new" rather than heading back to the #organization path and displaying the (obviously incorrect) flash that a new user has been created.
Anyone got any ideas how I test for this? I tried a quick if/else test (along the lines of "if #organization.users.create ... else: render the users/new page"), but then I got a bunch of form errors because I wasn't defining the object that the page was creating.
I solved this with the change to the create function in the Users controller - I was creating a new #organization.user regardless of the error messages in the form. Instead I needed to use #user = #organization.users.new, and then use the same if #user.save ... test that works for a new user. See the below code for how it was fixed:
def create
if signed_in?
#organization = Organization.find(params[:organization_id])
#user = #organization.users.new(user_params)
if #user.save
flash[:success] = "You added a new user to your organization. Send them their login details today!"
redirect_to #organization
else
render 'new'
end
else
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Thanks for signing up with My App! This is your profile page, be sure to take a look at the support link in the footer"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
end

Rails 4 - partial rendered with update.js.erb not showing updated values

On the account settings page for my Rails app I am trying to use Ajax to have the displayed users settings info updated after the update form is submitted. Right now when I submit the form the database gets updated and the _account_settings.html.erb partial appears to get re-rendered, but the partial doesn't show the updated information. For example, say the users name is "John Doe" and he clicks the '#edit_name' link. This renders the _name_form.html.erb which he can use to change his name. When he changes his name and submits the form, let's say he changes it to "Joe Blow", the form disappears and the 'Name: <%= current_user.name %> - click to edit' shows up again but the name is still "John Doe" even though the name in the DB is now "Joe Blow". If I refresh the page the name now appears as "Joe Blow". I am using devise and made a custom registrations controller to allow the user to update certain attributes without entering a password (name still requires the current password). I used this code provided by the devise and simply added
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to edit_user_registration_path }
format.js
end
to the end of the 'if #user.update_attributes(account_update_params)' block in the above link. Any ideas as to why the re-rendered partial isn't showing the updated user information?
edit.html.erb

<div id="account_settings_container">
<%= render 'account_settings' %>

_account_settings.html.erb
<div class="user-attribute-container">

});
$("#edit_password").click(function() {
$(this).hide().after("<%= escape_javascript(render('password_form')) %>");
});
<% end %>
_name_form.html.erb (the email and password form partials have :email, :password & :password_confirmation instead of :name, otherwise they're the same)

<%= f.label :name, "Name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :password_field, "Password" %>
<%= f.password_field :current_password %>
<%= f.submit "Update" %>
<% end %>

$("#account_settings_container").html("<%= escape_javascript(render('account_settings')) %>");

Custom devise registrations controller:
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def update
#user = User.find(current_user.id)
successfully_updated = if needs_password?(#user, params)
#user.update_with_password(devise_parameter_sanitizer.sanitize(:account_update))
else
# remove the virtual current_password attribute
# update_without_password doesn't know how to ignore it
params[:user].delete(:current_password)
#user.update_without_password(devise_parameter_sanitizer.sanitize(:account_update))
end
if successfully_updated
# sign_in #user, :bypass => true
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to edit_user_registration_path }
format.js
end
else
respond_to do |format|
format.html { render "edit" }
format.js
end
end
end
private
def needs_password?(user, params)
user.email != params[:user][:email] || params[:user][:password].present? || user.name != params[:user][:name]
end
end
current_user is generated by Devise using a before_filter. So the object returned, will be the user as it was before that action method was called. You need to use the #user object which is the user object that is modified by the action method.
So for example:
<p>Name: <%= #user.name %> - click to edit</p>
