Ruby on Rails - undefined local variable or method (strong parameters) - ruby-on-rails

My app is using Rails 4.1.8 and I use Simple Form gem.
I get the undefined local variable or method error on the strong parameter definition under private and I don't understand the cause of this.
_form.haml.html
= simple_form_for #recipe, html: { multipart: true } do |f|
- if #recipe.errors.any?
#errors
%h2
= pluralize(#recipe.errors.count, "error")
prohibited this recipe from being saved
%ul
- #recipe.errors.full_messages.each do |msg|
%li= msg
= f.input :title
= f.input :serving
= f.input :prep
= f.input :cook
= f.button :submit
controller
class RecipesController < ApplicationController
def create
#recipe = Recipe.new(recipe_params)
if #recipe.save
redirect_to #recipe, notice: "Successfully created"
else
render 'new'
end
private
def recipe_params
params.require(:recipe).permit(:title, :serving, :prep, :cook)
end
end
end
And the submit button takes me to index route http://localhost:3000/recipes rather than
show http://localhost:3000/recipes/1

You didn't close create method properly. It should be:
class RecipesController < ApplicationController
def create
#recipe = Recipe.new(recipe_params)
if #recipe.save
redirect_to #recipe, notice: "Successfully created"
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def recipe_params
params.require(:recipe).permit(:title, :serving, :prep, :cook)
end
end

Why am I getting a NoMethodError in Ruby?

I am currently working on an recipe box application, using ruby on rails. When I want to create a new recipe It says
undefined method `title'
for
= f.input :title, input_html: { class: 'form-control' }
This is my form.html.haml
= simple_form_for #recipe, html: { multipart: true } do |f|
- if #recipe.errors.any?
#errors
%p
= #recipe.errors.count
Prevented this recipe from saving
%ul
- #recipe.errors.full_messages.each do |msg|
%li= msg
.panel-body
= f.input :title, input_html: { class: 'form-control' }
= f.input :description, input_html: { class: 'form-control' }
= f.button :submit, class: "btn btn-primary"
And this my recipes_controller.rb
class RecipesController < ApplicationController
before_action :find_recipe, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def index
end
def show
end
def new
#recipe = Recipe.new
end
def create
#recipe = Recipe.new(recipe_params)
if #recipe.save
redirect_to #recipe, notice: "Toll! Neues Rezept erfolgreich erstellt."
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def recipe_params
params.require(:recipe).permit(:title, :description)
end
def find_recipe
#recipe = Recipe.find(params[:id])
end
end
You have to render form in 'new' view
You have to have column 'title' in your DB
Show us what 'debug #recipe' prints, is there 'title' attribute?

Update child attributes rails

I have a customer model and book_room model
class Customer < ApplicationRecord
has_many :book_rooms
accepts_nested_attributes_for :book_rooms
end
class BookRoom < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :customer
end
in the book_room controller the create method is from its parent
class BookRoomsController < ApplicationController
def create
#customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
#customer_room = #customer.book_rooms.create(book_rooms_params)
flash[:notice] = "Customer has been added to room"
redirect_to customer_path(#customer)
end
def destroy
#customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
#customer_room = #customer.book_rooms.find(params[:id])
#customer_room.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Customer room has been deleted"
redirect_to customer_path(#customer)
end
def edit
#customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
end
def update
#customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
#customer.book_rooms.update(book_rooms_params)
flash[:notice] = "Customer has checked out"
redirect_to #customer
end
private
def book_rooms_params
params.require(:book_room).permit(:room, :first_name, :last_name, :phone_number, :checked_out)
end
end
in the Customer show page
<%= form_for [#customer, #customer.book_rooms.build] do |f| %>
<% #room = Room.all %>
<%= f.label "Room: "%>
<%= f.select(:room, #room.collect { |a| [a.room_number, a.id] }) %>
<%= f.submit "Enter" %>
<div class="col-md-12"><%= render #customer.book_rooms.order("created_at DESC") %></div>
This works perfectly and all child objects get created. now when I try to edit the child attributes it doesn't update at all
heres the edit form in the book_room edit page/action
<%= form_for #customer do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :book_rooms, #customer.book_rooms do |f| %>
<%= f.check_box :checked_out %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Enter" %>
is there something i am doing wrong? why doesn't it update?
Customers controller
class CustomersController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_customer, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
# POST /customers.json
def create
#customer = Customer.new(customer_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #customer.save
format.html { redirect_to #customer, notice: 'Customer was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #customer }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #customer.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #customer.update(customer_params)
format.html { redirect_to #customer, notice: 'Customer was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #customer }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #customer.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_customer
#customer = Customer.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def customer_params
params.require(:customer).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :phone_number, :sex, :book_rooms_attributes => [:checked_out])
end
In your customers controller :
Try to change your function customer_params like:
def customer_params
params.require(:customer).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :phone_number, :sex, {:book_rooms => [:checked_out]})
end
For more explications see here
Change your update method to:
def update
#customer = Customer.find(params[:customer_id])
if #customer.update_attributes(customer_params)
flash[:notice] = "Customer has checked out"
redirect_to #customer
else
...redirect to edit page with a flash error message ...
end
end
You also need to modify your edit page.
<%= form_for(:customer, :url => {:action => 'update', :id => #customer.id}, :method => 'PUT') do |f| %>
Try changing the URL to update and changing the method to patch you will go to update method.
<%= form_for :customer, url: customer_path(#customer),method: :patch do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :book_rooms, #customer.book_rooms do |f| %>
<%= f.check_box :checked_out %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Enter" %>

Rails: How not to save value with using time_select

I'm trying to add time_select with include_blank. I'm doing this:
<%= f.time_select :start_at, include_blank: true, ampm: true %><br>
What I'd like to do is to delete value (save nil?) if blank is selected in view.
Although I tried the following posts, it didn't work for me.
time_select blank field saves a default time when form is submitted
Optional time_select with allow_blank defaults to 00:00
1) When I try as below, no error is appeared, but 00:00:00 is saved.
controller
def update
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
if event_params["start_at(4i)"].blank? or event_params["start_at(5i)"].blank?
#event.start_at = nil
end
if #event.update(event_params)
flash[:success] = "event updated!"
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'edit'
end
end
2) When I try as below (change if clause), no error is appeared, but 00:00:00 is saved.
controller
def update
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
if params[:id]["start_at(4i)"].blank? or params[:id]["start_at(5i)"].blank?
#event.start_at = nil
end
if #event.update(event_params)
flash[:success] = "event updated!"
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'edit'
end
end
3) When I try as below (add before_action), no error is appeared, but 00:00:00 is saved.
controller
before_action :blank_time, only: [:update]
def update
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
if #event.update(event_params)
flash[:success] = "event updated!"
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'edit'
end
end
private
def blank_time
if params[:id]["start_at(4i)"].blank? or params[:id]["start_at(5i)"].blank?
params[:id]['start_at(1i)'] = ""
params[:id]["start_at(2i)"] = ""
params[:id]["start_at(3i)"] = ""
params[:id]["start_at(4i)"] = ""
params[:id]["start_at(5i)"] = ""
end
end
4) When I try as below (use nil instead of ""), error is appeared.
error
IndexError (string not matched):
app/controllers/events_controller.rb:106:in `[]='
app/controllers/events_controller.rb:106:in `blank_time'
controller
before_action :blank_time, only: [:update]
def update
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
if #event.update(event_params)
flash[:success] = "event updated!"
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'edit'
end
end
private
def blank_time
if params[:id]["start_at(4i)"].blank? or params[:id]["start_at(5i)"].blank?
params[:id]['start_at(1i)'] = nil
params[:id]["start_at(2i)"] = nil
params[:id]["start_at(3i)"] = nil
params[:id]["start_at(4i)"] = nil
params[:id]["start_at(5i)"] = nil
end
end
It would be appreciated if you could give me any advice.
UPDATE
Although I change the edit in events_controller.rb as below, the error ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError (can't write unknown attribute 'start_at(4i)'): is displayed.
def edit
#room = Room.find(params[:room_id])
#event = #room.events.find(params[:id])
#event['start_at(4i)'] = #event.start_at.split(':')[0] #the error occur here
#event['start_at(5i)'] = #event.start_at.split(':')[1]
end
My idea works like this:
Migration:
class CreateTests < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
def change
create_table :tests do |t|
t.string :time
t.timestamps
end
end
end
Form:
<%= form_for(test) do |f| %>
<% if test.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(test.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this test from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% test.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :time %>
<%= f.time_select :time, include_blank: true, ampm: false %><br>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Controller:
This will save : when value send are null where you can use conditional to check if parameters are null or and set value of time. //It's consuming much time and I skipped for you to complete.
def create
#test = Test.new(test_params)
#time = (params[:test]['time(4i)']).to_s
#time_ampm = (params[:test]['time(5i)']).to_s
#test.time = #time+":"+ #time_ampm
respond_to do |format|
if #test.save
format.html { redirect_to #test, notice: 'Test was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #test }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #test.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
For updating
def edit
#test = Test.find(params[:id])
#test['time(4i)'] = #test.time.split(':')[0]
#test['time(5i)'] = #test.time.split(':')[1]
end
def update
#test = Test.find(params[:id])
#time = (params[:test]['time(4i)']).to_s
#time_ampm = (params[:test]['time(5i)']).to_s
#test.time = #time+":"+ #time_ampm
#test.update(test_params)
end
Assigning #event.starts_at to nil does nothing as the attributes in #event_params is used when calling #update, overwriting your initial assignment.
Overwriting the starts_at attribute in your params should work instead.
def update
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
if event_params["start_at(4i)"].blank? or event_params["start_at(5i)"].blank?
event_params = event_params.reject { |k, v| k.starts_with? 'starts_at' }
.merge(starts_at: nil)
end
if #event.update(event_params)
flash[:success] = "event updated!"
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'edit'
end
end
The following line finds and remove the parameters for starts_at(1i) to starts_at(5i), then sets the whole starts_at attribute to be nil:
event_params.reject { |k, v| k.starts_with? 'starts_at' }.merge(starts_at: nil)

undefined method `picture' for nil:NilClass using carrierwave

I am making a form in my rails application where people have the option of adding images and I am using 'carrierwave' but I am getting an undefined method error on the edit page. Here is the code for the form:
<%= title "Add Item to #{#todo_list.title}" %>
<%= form_for [#todo_list, #todo_item], builder: FoundationFormBuilder do |form| %>
<%= render partial: 'form', locals: { form: form } %>
<%= form.file_field :picture %>
<% end %>
Here I can see the upload button and it is working fine but on the edit page I get the above stated error. Code for my edit page:
<%= title "Editing Todo Item" %>
<%= form_for [#todo_list, #todo_item], builder: FoundationFormBuilder do |form| %>
<%= render partial: 'form', locals: { form: form } %>
<% end %>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns">
<%= link_to "Delete", todo_list_todo_item_path(#todo_list, #todo_item), method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure?" }, class: "button radius expand alert" %>
</div>
<%= #todo_item.picture %>
</div>
Why is this showing an undefined method error. I tried creating a method in my todo_item model but its still showing the above error.
Controller for todo_item:
class TodoItemsController < ApplicationController
before_action :require_user
before_action :find_todo_list
before_action :set_back_link, except: [:index]
def index
go_back_link_to todo_lists_path
end
def new
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.new
end
def create
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item_params)
if #todo_item.save
flash[:success] = "Added todo list item."
redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path
else
flash[:error] = "There was a problem adding that todo list item."
render action: :new
end
end
def edit
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.find(params[:id])
if #todo_item.update_attributes(todo_item_params)
flash[:success] = "Saved todo list item."
redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path
else
flash[:error] = "That todo item could not be saved."
render action: :edit
end
end
def destroy
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.find(params[:id])
if #todo_item.destroy
flash[:success] = "Todo list item was deleted."
else
flash[:error] = "Todo list item could not be deleted."
end
redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path
end
def complete
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.find(params[:id])
#todo_item.toggle_completion!
redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path, notice: "Todo item updated."
end
def url_options
{ todo_list_id: params[:todo_list_id] }.merge(super)
end
private
def set_back_link
go_back_link_to todo_list_todo_items_path(#todo_list)
end
def find_todo_list
#todo_list = current_user.todo_lists.find(params[:todo_list_id])
end
def todo_item_params
params[:todo_item].permit(:content)
end
end
To display your image you should change
<%= #todo_item.picture %>
to
<%= image_tag(#todo_item.picture_url) %>

Can't write params to Model. Ruby on Rails

I trying write params to Company model. But I have error undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class in this point = simple_form_for #company, url: update_settings_company_path do |f|. Where I must set #company?
Controller
def change_settings
#vacation_days = current_company.vacation_days
#illnes_days = current_company.illnes_days
end
def update_settings
if #company.update(company_params)
redirect_to account_company_path, notice: t('company.settings_changed')
else
render action: 'change_settings'
end
end
private
def company_params
params.require(:company).permit(:vacation_days, :illnes_days)
end
View
.company_settings
= simple_form_for #company, url: update_settings_company_path do |f|
= f.error_notification
= f.input :vacation_days
= f.input :illnes_days
%br

= link_to t('common.back'), account_company_path, class: 'btn'
routes
resource :company, only: :all do
get :change_settings
post :update_settings
patch :update_settings
end
What's wrong? Help me please
You don't set #company instance variable in both your actions. You can do it using before_filter, like this:
before_filter :find_company
def change_settings
#vacation_days = current_company.vacation_days
#illnes_days = current_company.illnes_days
end
def update_settings
if #company.update(company_params)
redirect_to account_company_path, notice: t('company.settings_changed')
else
render action: 'change_settings'
end
end
private
def company_params
params.require(:company).permit(:vacation_days, :illnes_days)
end
def find_company
#company = current_company
end
Try this instead, You need to set the instance variable before you use it. By default the instance variable is set to nil.
def update_settings
#company = current_company
if #company.update(company_params)
redirect_to account_company_path, notice: t('company.settings_changed')
else
render action: 'change_settings'
end
end
