Ruby on Rails create action not working - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am fairly new to Ruby. I am trying to follow along with a tutorial for creating a simple posting app.
My create action will not work. I tried this and it seems to do something in the terminal, but it doesn't add it to my Posts object.
Here is my posts controller:
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def index
#posts = Post.all
end
def show
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#post = Post.new
end
def create
#post = Post.new(:title => params[:title], :content => params[:content])
#post.save
end
def edit
end
def update
end
def destroy
end
end
Here is my new view:
<h1>Add a New Post</h1>
<%= form_for #post do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :content %>
<%= f.text_area :content %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit "Add a New Post" %>
</p>
<% end %>
This is what comes up in the terminal when I try to submit:

I feel like I've read about a million stack overflow posts about this and no one seems to have the answer. Any help would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

You've successfully inserted a record into the database. What do you want to happen next? How about:
redirect_to action: 'index'

Answer 2

You should use strong params to get the parameters you need from the form.
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def create
#post = Post.new(post_params)
#post.save
end
private
def post_params
params.require(:post).permit(:title, :content)
# params.require(:post).permit! # Allow all
end
end
If you want your exisiting solution to work, you would need to prefix the params like this:
#post = Post.new(:title => params[:post][:title], :content => params[:post][:content])
If you examine the logs, you'll see the form input is nested inside of post
"post"=>{"title"=>"Jack's Post", "content"=>"Please use this post"}

Answer 3

When you look in the logs it clearly says that I have rendered no view.
No template found for PostsController#create, rendering head :no_content
So in PostsController#create action we need to redirect to any action, mostly we redirect to show action. So you need add following line in create action.
# redirects user to show page of newly created post.
if #post.save
redirect_to #post
else
render 'new'
end
Go kill waves :)
