Parameter missing error(rails) - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am facing an error that when ever I try to call the function finalized_request it throws me an error saying "param is missing or the value is empty: finalizedeal". Since I am new to this I can't figure out what am I doing wrong(I am new to ROR).

Answer 1

The code is complaining because you are requiring the :finalizedeal parameter (but apparently you are not passing it along) by adding this .require(:finalizedeal) to this code:
def finalizedRequest_params
params.require(:finalizedeal).permit(:title , :description)
end
So one solution would be to simply remove the require part. Like so:
params.permit(:title , :description)
#require source
Ensures that a parameter is present.
