I got this error when submitting a new article with tags. And new artcile is not created. If I do not put any tags in the form, the article is created.

Form which creates a quantity of another model with form field

I have two models, Hotel and Room. I want to create a form that will allow me to add a new hotel and rooms, which indicates the name of the hotel and the quantity of rooms.
I know I should use "nested form", but it is hard for me to implement it properly.
Here is my code:
HotelsController
class HotelsController < ApplicationController
def index
#hotels = Hotel.all
end
def new
#hotel = Hotel.new
end
def create
#hotel = Hotel.new(hotel_params)
if #hotel.save
redirect_to #hotel
else
render 'new'
end
end
def show
#hotel = Hotel.find(params[:id])
end
def destroy
#hotel = Hotel.find(params[:id])
#hotel.destroy
redirect_to hotels_url, notice: 'Hotel was successfully destroyed.'
end
private
def hotel_params
params.require(:hotel).permit(:name, :rooms_count)
end
end
Hotel model
class Hotel < ApplicationRecord
has_many :rooms, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :rooms
end
Room model
class Room < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :hotel, optional: true # avoiding rails 5.2 belongs_to error
end
form
<%= form_with scope: :hotel, url: hotels_path, local: true do |form| %>
<p>
<%= form.label :name %><br>
<%= form.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= form.label :rooms_count %><br>
<%= form.number_field :rooms_count %>
</p>
<p>
<% form.fields_for :rooms do |f|%>
<p>
**THE CODE**
</p>
<% end %>
</p>
<p>
<%= form.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
You forgot the "ERB echo sign" (=) on the fields_for helper.
Correct form:
<%= form.fields_for :rooms do |f|%>
I have found a solution to my question.
def create
#hotel = Hotel.new(hotel_params)
#hotel.rooms_count.times do
#hotel.rooms.build
end
if #hotel.save
redirect_to #hotel
else
render 'new'
end
end
It implement a #hotel.rooms.build as many times as #hotel.rooms_count number entered in Rooms Count field in form.

ArgumentError in Messages#index while building conversation + messages model

For a marketplace that I'm working on I'd like to add messaging-functionality between users.
I found this tutorial that matches my requirements and I'm trying to replicate it.
When trying to send a message to another user however, I get the following error:
ArgumentError in Messages#index
Showing /home/ubuntu/workspace/marketplace/app/views/messages/index.html.erb where line #9 raised:
First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty
From the Message view file it's relating to:
<%= form_for [#conversation, #message] do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
<%= f.text_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %>
<%= f.submit "Add Reply" %>
A conversation_id was made, but in Message view file it goes wrong.
Does anybody have a clue what I'm missing? I'm quite new to Rails and I'm blind-staring on this for 2 nights now. Your help is much appreciated!

Ruby on rails - display error message for an associated object

I have the below form written for a movie review. Review is associated with movies. I am not able to display error message for this form. I have written similar code to display error message for validation on movies and that works well.
Code for the 'add new review' form -
<%= form_for([#movie, #movie.reviews.build]) do |f| %>
<% if #reviews.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h3>
<%= pluralize(#reviews.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited
this review from being saved:
</h3>
<ul>
<% #reviews.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<p>
<%= f.label :reviewer %><br>
<%= f.text_field :reviewer %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :comment %><br>
<%= f.text_area :comment %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>

Please help me identify what is going wrong and how to be able to get the validation message working.
Thanks in advance.
You are trying to display error of #review with <% if #reviews.errors.any? %>
But You do not have #reviews in <%= form_for([#movie, #movie.reviews.build) do |f| %>
Better solution, through controller assigning #review = Review.new. In this case it should show you errors, if comment field is empty.
def new
#review = Review.new
end
def create
#movie = Movie.find(params[:movie_id])
#review = #movie.reviews.build(review_params)
if #review.save
else
render 'new'
end
end
In Form
<%= form_for ([#movie, #review) do |f| %>

Rails doesn't save nested form with polymorphic models

I have these models:
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :reviewable, polymorphic: true
end
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :review, as: :reviewable, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :review
end
And a form like this:
<%= form_for #article do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for(:review, Review.new) do |r| %>
<%= r.label :content %>
<%= r.text_field :content %>
<% end %>
<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.text_field :description %>
<% end %>
Inside my ArticlesController I create article simple like this:
#article = Article.new(article_params)
#article.save
def article_params
params.require(:article).permit(:description, review_attributes: [:id, :content])
end
What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
Try adding accepts_nested_attributes_for
Updated:
app/models/article.rb
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :review, as: :reviewable, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :review
end
app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
def new
#article = Article.new
end
def create
#article = Article.new(article_params)
if #article.save
redirect_to #article, notice: "Article created!"
else
render :new
end
end
private
def article_params
params.require(:article).permit(:description, review_attributes: [:content])
end
view
<%= form_for(#article) do |form| %>
<%= form.fields_for(:review_attributes, #article.build_review) do |review| %>
<%= review.label :content %>
<%= review.text_field :content %>
<% end %>
<%= form.label :description %>
<%= form.text_field :description %>
<% end %>

Polymorphic uninitialized constant

having a lot of trouble setting up polymorphic. I have Comments which works fine, but the Links which should work exactly the same has NameError in Links#index. If I try to forum_posts/1/comments all is good but not forum_posts/1/links.
I was following the railscast tutorial http://railscasts.com/episodes/154-polymorphic-association?view=asciicast
Appreciate the help.
