Rails doesn't receive http post request parameters - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm working on a simple one-page website on Ruby on Rails that has a 'Contact Us' form. It has 3 fields - name, e-mail and text -, and a submit button. In theory, after filling up these forms and clicking the button, the user will receive an email with the confirmation of the request. The controller basically has only one method that writes the data in the DB and after successful saving sends an email.
The problem is that the controller doesn't receive the parameters(name, email and text) and raises an exception: ActionController::ParameterMissing (param is missing or the value is empty: application)
I'm sure that the data is sent. Here's the log:
Started POST "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-07-23 20:25:08 +0300
Processing by ApplicationsController#create as HTML
Parameters: {"name"=>"Foo Bar", "email"=>"foobar#example.com", "text"=>"qwerqwepoiqtwporihtqwojbr[sdfzxc"}
Completed 400 Bad Request in 381609ms
Source code of the controller:
class ApplicationsController < ApplicationController
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :if => Proc.new { |c| c.request.format == 'text/html' }
def new
#request = Application.new
end
def create
#request = Application.new(application_params)
if #request.save
ApplicationMailer.request_confirmation(#request).deliver_now
flash[:info] = 'Your application has been registered! Check your e-mail!'
else
flash[:alert] = 'Oops! Your application was not registered!'
end
end
private
def application_params
params.require(:application).permit(:name, :email, :text)
end
end
Source code of the Application model:
class Application < ActiveRecord::Base
before_save{
self.email.downcase!
}
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, length: {maximum: 255},
format: {with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX})
validates(:text, presence: true)
end
Does anybody have any idea where is the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Your params are not coming from application, for a quick fix just change application_params to below
def application_params
params.permit(:name, :email, :text)
end
