rails form data not getting saved to db - ruby-on-rails

I'm new to rails and trying to make a simple site to start learning. When I submit my form, however, the data isn't saved to the db. I'm really not sure what's wrong, I've been trying to figure it out for a while. If I make a record in the rails console and save it, that one successfully shows up in the db (and on the index page).
calculate.rb:
class Calculate < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :number, :root
end
calculates_controller.rb:
class CalculatesController < ApplicationController
def index
#calculate = Calculate.all
end
def new
#calculate = Calculate.new
end
def create
#calculate = Calculate.new(params[:calculate])
if #calculate.save
redirect_to '/calculates'
else
render 'new'
flash[:notice] = "Didn't work"
end
end
end
new.html.erb:
<%= form_for(#calculate) do %>
<%= label_tag(:number, "Enter the number") %>
<%= text_field_tag :number %>
<%= label_tag(:root, "root") %>
<%= text_field_tag :root %>
<%= submit_tag("Submit") %>
<% end %>

if you are using form_for, use the form_for syntax
<%= form_for(#calculate) do |form| %>
<%= form.label :number %>
<%= form.text_field :number %>
<%= form.label :root %>
<%= form.text_field :root %>
<%= form.submit "Submit" %>
<% end %>
this will automatically handle the routes if the #calculate is new object it will submit it to create or if it is already saved it will send a put request to edit action

Ah hah! I updated my view to:
<%= form_for #calculate, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
<%= f.label :number %>
<%= f.text_field :number %>
<%= f.label :root %>
<%= f.text_field :root %>
<%= submit_tag("Submit") %>
<% end %>
And now it works. Awesome.

RoR 6: First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty error

I'm adding comments for my tweets in my application but I get this error in the view for the first line in my form.
First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty
Extracted source (around line #1): <%= form_for [#tweet, #comment] do |f| %>
My routes
resources :tweets do
resources :comments
resources :likes
end
My model
class Comment < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :tweet
belongs_to :user
end
My controller
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
#tweet = Tweet.find(params[:id])
#comment = #tweet.comments.create(params[:comment].permit(:body))
redirect_to tweets_path
end
end
My form
comments/_form.html.erb
<%= form_for [#tweet, #comment] do |f| %>
<p><%= f.label :body %><br>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
My view (partial)
tweets/_tweets_index.html.erb
<% #tweets.reverse.each do |tweet| %>
....
<%= render tweet.comments %><br>
Add a comment
<%= render partial: 'comments/form' %>
<% end %>
In turn rendered to tweets/index.html.erb
<%= render partial: 'tweets_index' %>
I changed the first line on the form as per previous questions here ..[#foo, #bar].. as above but it still does not work. What am I doing wrong? ty
EDIT: I have made some progress but the following error appears
My form
<%= form_for( :comment , :html => {:class => "form-horizontal", :role => "form"}, url: tweets_path) do |form| %>
<p><%= form.label :body %><br>
<%= form.text_area :body %>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<%= form.submit %>
<% end %>
Error
:param is missing or the value is empty: tweet
def tweet_params
params.require(:tweet).permit(:user_id, :content, { comments: [:body] })
end
{"authenticity_token"=>"79mdlyIOZTUF8hzXhoOpzTHKhk+/5SBrfnUjnImtmek1HyXDA0U/+R6oEOYgmy4H+a2kEppasDDKBobvdpbQdg==", "comment"=>{"body"=>"Test"}, "commit"=>"Save Comment"}
What the error means is that #tweet is nil. So wherever you render this form, make sure that in the respective controller action, you define #tweet.

rails 4 - param is missing or the value is empty: projecttype

A newby to rails (I am building an app to learn rails) and run in to an issue I can't find a solution to (while following the getting started guide). I have studied the guides and similar questions
This is my code:
class ProjecttypesController < ApplicationController
def index
#projecttypes = Projecttype.all
end
def show
#projecttype = Projecttype.find(params[:id])
end
def new
end
def create
#projecttype = Projecttype.new(projecttype_params)
#projecttype.save
redirect_to #projecttype
end
private
def projecttype_params
params.require(:projecttype).permit(:name, :image, :url)
end
end
The form:
<%= form_for :projecttypes, url: projecttypes_path do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label 'Project type' %>
<%= f.text_field :projecttype %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :image %>
<%= f.file_field :image %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :url %>
<%= f.url_field :url %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps important... when I use this...
def create
render plain: params[:projecttype].inspect
end
It returns 'nil'.
Thanks for your help
Your code should be like this
def new
#projecttype = Projecttype.new
end
def create
#projecttype = Projecttype.create(projecttype_params)
redirect_to #projecttype
end
and use this for form
<%= form_for #projecttype do |f| %>
In your
controller file
def new
#projecttype = Projecttype.new
end
and then in your form
<%= form_for #projecttype do |f| %>

Ruby On Rails Update failed still

I have try many things but still failed, i want to implement a edit and update action here.
Below is my code
home controller:
class HomeController < ApplicationController
def index
#inputs = Person.all
end
def new
#input = Person.new
end
def create
#input = Person.new(input_params)
respond_to do |x|
if #input.save
x.html {redirect_to :action => 'index'}
else
x.html {render :action => 'new'}
end
end
end
def show
#input = Person.find(params[:id])
end
def edit
#input = Person.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#input = Person.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |x|
if #input.update(input_params)
x.html {redirect_to :action => 'index'}
else
x.html {render :edit}
end
end
end
private
def input_params
params.require(:inputs).permit(:name, :weight, :height, :color, :age)
end
end
edit.html.erb
<h1>Editing Data</h1>
<%= render 'form' %>
<%= link_to 'Show', home_path %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', home_index_path %>
form.html.erb:
<%= form_for :#input do |person| %>
<div class="field">
<%= person.label :name %><br>
<%= person.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= person.label :weight %><br>
<%= person.number_field :weight %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= person.label :height %><br>
<%= person.number_field :height %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= person.label :color %><br>
<%= person.text_field :color %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= person.label :age %><br>
<%= person.number_field :age %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= person.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Routes are correct, i can lead me to the edit page, however, it shows,
first problem, edit with no data pops up
New updated
You should use form_for instead of form_tag,
<%= form_for #input do |x| %>
...
and then (depending on what #input actually is!)
<%= x.text_field :age %>
It looks like you are not binding your form to your method.
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#binding-a-form-to-an-object
gives an overview, but I'd suggest something like this for your edit:
<%= form_for #input do |f| %>
<%= render 'form', f: f %>
<%= f.submit "Update" %>
<% end %>
and in your partial - which should be _form.html.erb
<div class="field">
<p><label for = "input_name">Name</label>:
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
etc.. Now assuming you have set your routes correctly, it will go back to your update method. If you have not set up your routes in the way rails expects, then you should use:
<%= form_for #article, url: **your_update_path** do |f| %>
Just add the routes path that points to your update method, when you run rake routes.

Nested Form Rails UPDATING

I hope they are good, need to do nested forms with the profile of a user and their respective car.
each user has their own profile:
class PerfilController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_user!
def index
end
def show
#usuario = current_user
#usuario.perfil ||= Perfil.new
#perfil = #usuario.perfil
end
def update
#usuario = current_user
#perfil = #usuario.perfil
respond_to do |format|
if #usuario.perfil.update_attributes(perfil_params)
format.html {redirect_to #usuario, notice: "Datos Actualizados" }
else
format.html {render action: "show"}
end
end
end
private
def perfil_params
params.require(:perfil).permit(:nombre, :apellido, :rut)
end
end
I want the fund to ensure that each time a user posts a car, you can update your profile. Deputy nested form
<%= simple_form_for(#auto) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%=f.fields_for #perfil do |perfil_builder|%>
<p>
<%= perfil_builder.label :nombre %><br/>
<%= perfil_builder.text_field :nombre %>
<%= perfil_builder.label :apellido %><br/>
<%= perfil_builder.text_field :apellido %>
<%= perfil_builder.label :rut %><br/>
<%= perfil_builder.text_field :rut %>
</p>
<%end%>
<div class="form-inputs">
<%= f.association :region %>
<%= f.association :ciudad %>
<%= f.association :marca %>
<%= f.input :modelo %>
<%= f.input :version %>
<%= f.input :año %>
<%= f.input :patente %>
<%= f.association :tipo_transmision %>
<%= f.association :combustible %>
<%= f.association :tipo_vehiculo %>
<%= f.association :carroceria %>
</div>
<div class="form-actions">
<%= f.button :submit, :id => 'submit' %>
</div>
<% end %>
The problem is when you want to update does not change the user data but if you publish the article. the error in the console is: Unpermitted parameter: perfil
Best regards friends.
You are sending the request to the auto controller, hence the Unpermitted parameter: perfil error and failure to update.
You can add this to your Perfil controller:
has_many: :autos
accept_nested_attributes_for: :autos
Then in the view switch it around like this:
<%= simple_form_for(#perfil) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.label :nombre %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :nombre %>
...
<%=f.fields_for :auto do |auto_builder|%>
<p>
<%= auto_builder.association :region %><br/>
...

Form for related model not showing up

I am trying to have a form show up for a related model, but it is not displaying when I view the page in a browser. How do I url field in my fields_for to display?
Here is my code:
User Model:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
#user.websites.build
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
redirect_to root_url, :notice => "Signed up!"
else
render "new"
end
end
end
Website Model:
class Website < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
Users View:
<h1>Sign Up</h1>
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
...
<% end %>
<p>
<%= f.label :email %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :password %><br/>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br/>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
</p>
<% f.fields_for :websites do |builder| %>
<%= builder.label :url %><br/>
<%= builder.text_field :url %>
<% end %>
<p class="button"><%= f.submit %></p>
<% end %>
Final output:
You missed the equals sign in your erb tag.
<% f.fields_for :websites do |builder| %>
.. should be ..
<%= f.fields_for :websites do |builder| %>
Does that fix it?
It looks like you're maybe confusing singular and plural in your fields_for as well. Calling it with the plural websites then treating the block as a singular website doesn't make sense.
