nil value instead of form value - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a page index of Beer Receipe which also is supposed to display the ratings/comments. I've inserted a couple in rails c, and it displays fine on the Beer Receipe page. But when I try to create the rating on the form itself, both the star and comment comes up blank on the form, and when I look in the rails c, it shows nil value. Why?
Have three models: Beer_Receipe, Ingredient, & Rating
This is the schema:
create_table "beer_receipes", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "style"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
create_table "ingredients", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "category"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
create_table "ratings", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "ratable_type"
t.integer "ratable_id"
t.integer "stars"
t.text "comments"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
Their associations are:
class BeerReceipe < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :ratings, as: :ratable, dependent: :destroy
end
class Ingredient < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :ratings, as: :ratable, dependent: :destroy
end
class Rating < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :ratable, polymorphic: true
end
This is the Beer Receipe Index
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<h2>Beer Receipe Index</h2>
<p>
<strong>Name:</strong>
<%= #beer_receipe.name %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Style:</strong>
<%= #beer_receipe.style %>
</p>
<h2>Ratings</h2>
<%= render #beer_receipe.ratings %>
<h2>Add Ratings</h2>
<%= render 'ratings/form' %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_beer_receipe_path(#beer_receipe) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', beer_receipes_path %>
This is the _form.html.erb page
<%= form_for([#beer_receipe, #beer_receipe.ratings.build]) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :stars %><br>
<%= f.select :stars, (0..10) %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :comments %><br>
<%= f.text_field :comments %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
And lastly, but not least, Ratings Controller
class RatingsController < ApplicationController
def new
end
def create
#beer_receipe = BeerReceipe.find(params[:beer_receipe_id])
#rating = #beer_receipe.ratings.create(rating_params)
#redirect_to beer_receipe_path(#beer_receipe)
end
def destroy
#beer_receipe = BeerReceipe.find(params[:beer_receipe_id])
#rating = #beer_receipe.ratings.find(params[:id])
#rating.destroy
redirect_to beer_receipe_path(#rating)
end
def edit
end
def update
end
private
def rating_params
params.require(:rating).permit(:star, :comment)
end
end

Answer 1

try this in your ratings controller create action:
#rating = Rating.new(stars: params[:rating][:star], comments: params[:rating][:comments], ratable_id: params[:beer_recipe_id])
if #rating.save
puts "huzzah!"
end
Let me know if that works.
