ActiveAdmin Update Record not using correct primarykey - ruby-on-rails

Question

I got this problem of ActiveAdmin not updating my record and i noticed on log that the update statement is passing a PK key of "0" instead of the params[:id] of "5"... Any idea how can i override this? or any workaround? I was thinking maybe this was due to i was not using the normal PK of "id".. any thoughts? Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Do you get the same error, if you permit the id of the doctor like this?
doctor: [:id, :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name, :name_suffix,
:title, :primary_spec_id, :dob, :gender, :email, :phone,
:details, :ratings, :active_flag ]

Answer 2

Finally figured it out. Maybe it was something to do with the ActiveRecord the Rails version 4.1.6..
So I tried reverting my gem to 4.0.4
gem 'rails', '4.0.4'
Then it finally working as it should be.. Thanks anyway..
