Simple Mongoid Validation for create! - how to display error messages - ruby-on-rails

I'm using Rails 3 with mongoid 2 and have a simple question regarding mongoid validation.
if #forum.topics.create!(name: params[:topic][:name])
# success, do something
else
#should handle errors but doesn't
render 'new'
end
If I use the .create! method, it runs validations on a mongoid model class correctly, but it is not getting to the else block to display the error. Instead it returns a rails error page saying...
Mongoid::Errors::Validations in TopicsController#create
Validation failed - Name can't be blank.
That's good, but how do I display that in a view instead of getting an ugly rails error message page?

Try this way:
new_topic = #forum.topics.new(name: params[:topic][:name])
if new_topic.save
# success, do something
else
render 'new', errors: new_topic.errors.full_messages
end
with this way you will have the local variable errors which is a Hash formated like following:
new_topic.errors.full_messages # => ["\"Name\" can't be blank"]

you can rescue the Mongoid::Errors::Validations and use it's instance method to get the errors
new_topic = #forum.topics.new(name: params[:topic][:name])
new_topic.create!
rescue Mongoid::Errors::Validations => e
summary = e.summary
problem = e.problem
res = e.resolution
using the above error messages you can display the error

why no implicit conversion of nil into Hash?

after setup a search into a serializer!
Rails spits out
no implicit conversion of nil into Hash
So, please someone can point out whats wrong with this code?
class SearchController < ApplicationController
def results
results_query = PgSearch.multisearch(params[:q]).paginate(page: page, per_page: 20)
result = results_query.map(&:searchable).map do |result_item|
case result_item.class.name
when 'Post'
PostSerializer.new(result_item)
else
raise NotImplementedError
end
end
render json: {
items: result,
page: page,
pages: results_query.total_pages
}
end
def page
params[:page] || 1
end
def serialize(data, serializer)
ActiveModel::Serializer::CollectionSerializer.new(data, each_serializer: serializer)
end
end
Since your case statement isn't checking many values, you could always make it into a standard if/else statement:
if result_item && result.class.name == 'Post'
PostSerializer.new(result_item)
else
raise NotImplementedError
end
Well, on the screenshots you've provided we can see the log message specifies that the error is on line 5.
According to your code, line 5 is: case result_item.class.name
The error message is TypeError (no implicit conversion of nil into Hash).
You're trying to get the class then the name of result_item. So the problem is with result_item which is equal to nil.
In order the resolve your problem you might want to check the ouput of results_query.map(&:searchable).map.
Based on the screenshot you've provided, I've quickly checked the source code. The offending line seems to be this one: https://github.com/Casecommons/pg_search/blob/master/lib/pg_search/document.rb#L22. The only reason why this would raise the described TypeError is if PgSearch.multisearch_options is nil – which, as far as I understand the code, would only be possible if you accidentally overwrote it in a wrong way. So I'd suggest doublechecking your global setup for PgSearch.multisearch_options to make sure this is actually set.
The east way to check the setting is by using a debugger or putting something like puts PgSearch.multisearch_options or Rails.logger.info 'PgSearch.multisearch_options' into the controller directly above the call that's failing.

Guard against invalid page number (0) for will_paginate?

The will_pagify gem will_paginate will throw an error if you send it the param page=0. Is there a better way than declaring page = nil (or 1) if param[:page] =~ /^[0]{,}$/? Hoping this is to support zero-index pages and I can disable this with a function parameter.
*There may be other invalid inputs I haven't tested. Strings go to nil.
Update:
Trying to avoid:
begin
model = Model.where(...).paginate(page: params[:page])
<additional code>
rescue
model = Model.where(...).paginate(page: '1')
<redo additional code again or use function***>
vs.
current_page = clean_page(params[:page])
model = Model.where(...).paginate(page: current_page)
You can leverage what WillPaginate has already done to handle all cases as follows:
def clean_page(page)
begin
WillPaginate::PageNumber(page)
rescue WillPaginate::InvalidPage
1
end
end
and that will handle all the same issues because you are leveraging their validation process and anything that fails defaults to page 1.
Working Example

rails 5 ForbiddenAttributesError on bulk operations

i try to bulk operation in my rails controller this is my script
def update_by_user
user_skill_selected = UserSkillSelected.create(params[:user_skill_selected][:users])
# check through array if all is valid
if user_skill_selected.all? {|item| item.valid?}
render json: {json_status: save_success}
else
render json: {json_status: save_failed}
end
end
and this is my user_skill_selected_params
def user_skill_selected_params
params.require(:user_skill_selected).permit(:user_id, :subskill_id, :skill_id, :users => [])
end
unfortunately i get an error in my log, the log said
"exception": "#<ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError:ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError>",
after that i try to bulk operations from rails console with using create method with the array value and its work
can anyone solve this... :(
sorry for the bad english
This can be confusing. Your code is passing in params[:user_skill_selected][:users] to the model create method, instead of your user_skill_selected_params strong parameters, which is why you're seeing that error.
Change this line:
user_skill_selected = UserSkillSelected.create(params[:user_skill_selected][:users])
To this:
user_skill_selected = UserSkillSelected.create(user_skill_selected_params)
And it should eliminate this error.

undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass spree

I am running a spree app.
I am getting below error when I try to add any product in the cart.
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass
This error comes only when I add option types and variants of the same product.
I am not sure what's exactly going wrong here, because I am not doing any changes in the code or something.
This is the extracted source it shows.
if quantity.between?(1, 2_147_483_647)
begin
order.contents.add(variant, quantity, options)
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => e
error = e.record.errors.full_messages.join(", ")
end
Here's my order controller's populate function.
# Adds a new item to the order (creating a new order if none already exists)
def populate
order = current_order(create_order_if_necessary: true)
variant = Spree::Variant.find(params[:variant_id])
quantity = params[:quantity].to_i
options = params[:options] || {}
# 2,147,483,647 is crazy. See issue #2695.
if quantity.between?(1, 2_147_483_647)
begin
order.contents.add(variant, quantity, options)
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => e
error = e.record.errors.full_messages.join(", ")
end
else
error = Spree.t(:please_enter_reasonable_quantity)
end
if error
flash[:error] = error
redirect_back_or_default(spree.root_path)
else
respond_with(order) do |format|
format.html { redirect_to cart_path }
end
end
end
Please help me out here.
You need to ensure the values of variant, quantity and options before sending them to spree.
The fact that you get this error could be considered as a bug on their side, since you'd expect a nice error message saying "variant is nil" or the like.
To fix your problem though, I'd check that these values are valid ones before sending them to spree.
For future views about this issue.
Check if the Variant cost_currency attribute is the same that is configured in Spree. You can check it in a rails console doing:
Spree::Config.get(:currency)
Sometimes it happens when spree is initialized with some currency by default and then the default currency is changed.

Rails Parse Active record validation error

I have the following in my controller:
def create
equipment = Equipment.create(:name => params[:name])
errors = equipment.errors.messages
puts "equipment errors: " + errors.inspect
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :json => #equipment }
end
end
The response from the 'puts' is:
equipment errors: {:name=>["has already been taken"]}
How do I parse the error and get the message?
Thanks
equipment.errors.full_messages.join(", ")
This should give you "Name has already been taken". It concatenates all the errors.
Its just a hash. Access the message with
errors[:name].first
This gets the value of the :name key from the hash, which is an array with one element, and then returns the value of the first element of the array, which is the error message.
With more errors, use Array functions to access all of them and display them appropriately.
