cannot update paperclip image in active admin nested form - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have models product and product images. Product_images is a paperclip model. Product has many product_images. I am making an Active Admin form which uploads multiple images and shows these images to the Products view page.
However, when I save the product. The product table is updated, but not the product_image table. Image attaching normally, but I can't update fields of already uploaded image.
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :product_images_attributes
has_many :product_images, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :product_images, :reject_if => lambda { |t| t['product_image'].nil? }, :allow_destroy => true
end
class ProductImage < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :style
attr_accessible :image
belongs_to :product
has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :small => "150x150>", :large => "320x240>" }
validates_attachment_presence :image
end
ActiveAdmin.register Product do
form :html => { :multipart => true } do |f|
f.inputs "Admin Details" do
f.input :name
end
f.inputs "Product images" do
f.has_many :product_images do |p|
p.input :style, :as => :select, :collection => Image::STYLES, :include_blank => false
p.input :image, :as => :file, :label => "Image",:hint => p.object.image.nil? ? p.template.content_tag(:span, "No Image Yet") : p.template.image_tag(p.object.image.url(:small))
p.input :_destroy, :as=>:boolean, :required => false, :label => 'Remove image'
end
end
f.buttons
end
UPDATE
In the products model I do:
after_update :check
def check
if ProductImage.find_by_product_id(self.id).changed?
raise "image"
else
raise "fail"
end
end
and it's alway raise "fail"

Answer 1

I got the same error using rails 4.1. Just solved this.
I noticed that warnings in my output:
Unpermitted parameters: _destroy, id
Unpermitted parameters: _destroy, id
Unpermitted parameters: _destroy, id
So I just passed them to permit_params:
permit_params assets_attributes: [:image, :image_file_name, :image_content_type, :image_file_size, :image_updated_at, :_destroy, :id]
to AA's resource page. And it worked.
I hope it will help.
If not - here is my listings.
ActiveAdmin.register Product do
permit_params :name, :description, :price, :brand_id, :category_id, assets_attributes: [:image, :image_file_name, :image_content_type, :image_file_size, :image_updated_at, :_destroy, :id]
form multipart: true do |f|
f.inputs "Детали" do
f.input :category_id, as: :select, collection: Category.all, include_blank: false
f.input :brand_id, as: :select, collection: Brand.all, include_blank: false
f.input :name
f.input :description
f.input :price
end
f.inputs 'Фотографии' do
f.has_many :assets, allow_destroy: true, heading: 'Фото', new_record: false do |fasset|
fasset.input :image, as: :file, hint: fasset.template.image_tag(fasset.object.image.url(:thumb))
end
end
f.actions
end
end
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
belongs_to :brand
has_many :assets, dependent: :destroy, autosave: true
accepts_nested_attributes_for :assets, allow_destroy: true,
:reject_if => lambda { |attributes| attributes[:image].blank? }
validate :name, presence: true
validate :description, presence: true
validate :price, presence: true
end
class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :product
has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }, :default_url => "/images/:style/missing.png"
validates_attachment_content_type :image, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
validates_with AttachmentPresenceValidator, :attributes => :image
end

You can configure ActiveRecord to cascade-save changes to items in a collection for a model by adding the :autosave => true option when declaring the association.
Try:
has_many :product_images, :dependent => :destroy, :autosave => true
Also, you can save the table data on association in the after_save callback like this:
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :product_images_attributes
has_many :product_images, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :product_images, :reject_if => lambda { |t| t['product_image'].nil? }, :allow_destroy => true
after_save :do_product_image_update
private
def do_product_image_update
self.product_images.save
end
end
