Stripe token not carrying over to controller rails 4 - ruby-on-rails

Question

The Issue
I've tested the CoffeeScript and the form makes the call to Stripe, sets the hidden field with the proper response token and submits the form. My issue is that once its submitted the controller doesn't seem to grab the token properly and throws this error: Stripe::InvalidRequestError - You must supply either a card or a customer id.
Next I tired taking the token that was generated and hard coded it into the controller to see if that would work. I submitted the form, that worked and payment was received on Stripes end. I'm pretty much out of ideas on what to try next. I'm wondering if I am forgetting something or missing something since payments is nested under assignments.

Answer 1

At least two problems as I saw. And I guess there may be more after progressing.
You don't have access to params within #save_with_payment
The problem happens in this line:
# Get the credit card details submitted by the form
token = params[:stripe_customer_token]
The params is protected by strong_params and you don't have access to it.
The fix is to permit all of the needed params in payment_params and reuse it within this method.
Actually you don't have #price within #create
This problem does not relate to the question directly but it exists.
This instance variable #price is in #new. And #create is another instance so you can't have it again.
The fix is to get it from payment_params
