Best In Place for Rails ParameterMissing - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm having trouble getting Best In Place to update. This is the first time I've used this gem or made a Rails app so I'm sure I'm just missing something simple even though I've scoured the documentation and searched through other questions here.
This is the error I get in the console:

My controller:
class TasksController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_task, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
# GET /tasks
# GET /tasks.json
def index
#tasks = Task.all
respond_to do |type|
type.html
type.json {render :json => #task}
end
end
# GET /tasks/1
# GET /tasks/1.json
def show
#task = Task.find params[:id]
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json {render :json => #task}
end
end
# GET /tasks/new
def new
#task = Task.new
end
# GET /tasks/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /tasks
# POST /tasks.json
def create
#task = Task.new(task_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #task.save
format.html { redirect_to #task, notice: 'Task was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #task }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #task.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def sort
params[:order].each do |key,value|
Task.find(value[:id]).update_attribute(:priority,value[:position])
end
render :nothing => true
end
# PATCH/PUT /tasks/1
# PATCH/PUT /tasks/1.json
def update
#task = Task.find params[:id]
if #task.update(task_params)
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to( #task )}
format.json { render :json => #task }
end
else
respond_to do |format|
format.html { render :action => :edit } # edit.html.erb
format.json { render :nothing => true }
end
end
end
# DELETE /tasks/1
# DELETE /tasks/1.json
def destroy
#task.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to tasks_url, notice: 'Task was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_task
#task = Task.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def task_params
params.require(:task).permit(:title, :description, :priority)
end
end
My view partial:
<div class="panel panel-default" data-id="<%= task.id %>">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title"><span class="rest-in-place" data-url="/tasks/<%= task.id %>" data-object="tasks" data-attribute="title" data-placeholder="Enter a title">
<%= task.title %>
</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<%= truncate task.description, length: 50 %>
</div>
</div>
I really appreciate any help I can get. I'm 99% sure it's something I configured wrong in the controller, I just can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
EDIT: The background for this is that I have a bunch of 'Tasks' and I want to list them all on the index and be able to update any task on the index just by clicking on the title.

ActionController::ParameterMissing (param is missing or the value is empty: task
):
app/controllers/tasks_controller.rb:99:in `task_params'
app/controllers/tasks_controller.rb:62:in `update'
This is telling you that there is no parameter with the name of :task. You can see your parameters above this message.
Parameters: {"authenticity_token"=>"cAwRbx8JeYDMG1LrR7nl0VQfwW/x00RUd8rsTP8Iwc
0=", "tasks"=>{"title"=>"Task 1sadsads"}, "id"=>"1"}
You have tasks in your params here. This information is coming from your view.
data-object="tasks"
Try changing this piece in your view to task and it should send the request correctly.
