Hello:
I am quite new to Ruby and Rails. Here are the details of a sample use
case that I am trying to build.
Development environment: (on Ubuntu 9.04)
##################################
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i486-linux)
RubyGems version 1.3.1
Rails version 2.1.0
Active Record version 2.1.0
Action Pack version 2.1.0
Active Resource version 2.1.0
Action Mailer version 2.1.0
Active Support version 2.1.0
Edge Rails revision unknown
Application root /home/vkottilil/myapp
Environment development
Database adapter sqlite3
Database schema version 20091120203804
Sample Application:
################
User and Address maintenance - a bunch of user data with addresses
Model:
######
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :address
validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name
end
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
Controller:
########
users_controller.rb (new and create blocks)
def new
@user = User.new
@address = Address.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @user }
end
end
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user]) ## --> line 45
@address = @user.address.build(params[:address])
respond_to do |format|
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(@user) }
format.xml { render :xml => @user, :status
=> :created, :location => @user }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @user.errors, :status
=> :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The view comes up with out errors (http://localhost:3000/users/new)
and when I click on create this error is generated.
ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in UsersController#create
Address(#-615658568) expected, got HashWithIndifferentAccess
(#-606879698)

Request Parameters:
{"commit"=>"Create",
"authenticity_token"=>"1459525ad4fd5ae39be0c011edc5c45fdbff4337",
"user"=>{"work_phone"=>"",
"address"=>{"address1"=>"ad1",
"city"=>"any town",
"address2"=>"line2",
"zip"=>"12345",
"country"=>"USA",
"state"=>"CA"},
"profile_name"=>"pfname",
"home_phone"=>"",
"cell_phone"=>"",
"last_name"=>"last",
"first_name"=>"first",
"email"=>"",
"active"=>"1"}}
It is a simple 1-1 relationship - each user has one address. In this
use case I am trying to create data in two tables using a single
form.
I am certain that I am missing some more code that is required to
successfully save. Any clues greatly appreciated. Any suggestions to
implement in a different way are welcome. Can I explicitly write ruby
code to insert records into these tables even though I created the
objects using the rails scaffolding?
Thanks much
Vasu Kottilil
