Why am I getting an Association type Mismatch?
I am new to RoR and have run into a problem that has been driving me crazy, which I can't figure out!
Basically, I have created a product form and added a 'Supplier' select field, which finds all my suppliers but now when I try to update a current product or create a new one, I get the following error:
ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ProductsController#create
Supplier(#2178099880) expected, got String(#2148287480)
I understand what the error is telling me, but I don't understand why. I have also created an association for product category the same way, which works fine!
Also, if I add a validation to validate the presence of supplier, I get a 'supplier can't be blank' error, even if a supplier is selected.
Would really appreciate some help on this!
In my _form.html I have:
<%= f.label :supplier %>
<%= f.select(:supplier, Supplier.find(:all).collect {|c| [ c.name, c.id ]}, :include_blank => true) %>
Products Controller:
class ProductsController < ApplicationController
# GET /products
# GET /products.xml
def index
@products = Product.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @products }
end
end
# GET /products/1
# GET /products/1.xml
def show
@product = Product.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @product }
end
end
# GET /products/new
# GET /products/new.xml
def new
@product = Product.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @product }
end
end
# GET /products/1/edit
def edit
@product = Product.fin开发者_如何转开发d(params[:id])
end
# POST /products
# POST /products.xml
def create
@product = Product.new(params[:product])
respond_to do |format|
if @product.save
format.html { redirect_to(@product, :notice => 'Product was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => @product, :status => :created, :location => @product }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @product.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PUT /products/1
# PUT /products/1.xml
def update
@product = Product.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @product.update_attributes(params[:product])
format.html { redirect_to(@product, :notice => 'Product was successfully updated.') }
format.xml { head :ok }
else
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
format.xml { render :xml => @product.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /products/1
# DELETE /products/1.xml
def destroy
@product = Product.find(params[:id])
@product.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(products_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
end
Product Model:
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :supplier
belongs_to :categories
default_scope :order => 'product_number'
validates_presence_of :product_name, :product_number, :category, :opening_order, :initial_cover,
:country_of_origin, :supplier
validates_uniqueness_of :product_number
# Paperclip
has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }
end
Instead of creating form fields for supplier
try creating them for supplier_id
:
<%= f.label :supplier_id %>
<%= f.select(:supplier_id, Supplier.find(:all).collect {|c| [ c.name, c.id ]}, :include_blank => true) %>
Reporting yet another reason this may happen: In my case I was accepting attributes in the creation form of the resource, but I forgot to add "accepts_nested_attributes_for" in the parent model.. Hope it helps!
In my case, I had accidentally overridden the is_a? method on one of my ActiveRecord models. This Is Bad.
class MyClass << ActiveModel::Base
def is_a?(foo)
return false
end
end
Associations with this model will then consequently fail...
Hopes this helps someone else...
