Hello all,

I'm a bit of a Nooby on Rails (is that a new joke?) as well as a Ruby
Nooby and I've been trying all day to get to the bottom of an error.  I
promise I have tried everything but I've started going round in circles
and deleting large chunks of code so it's probably time to call in the
experts.

I've seen a few similar posts to this, mostly on this forum,  but none
seem to be entirely applicable to my case.

I have a formtastic form which gathers some inputs and creates a new
Transaction which then generates a nasty error.  it seems to be centred
on the @transaction.save action, this is where my 'puts' debugging
outputs stop.

I've done nothing (intentionally) advanced, mainly relying on defaults
and nifty_generators, so I can't see how I've got myself into such a
pickle.

Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated, please let me
know if I've missed something you need to see.  I really am going
insane.

Kind regards

Sam

--------------- --------

  def new
    @transaction = Transaction.new
  end

  def create
     @transaction = Transaction.new(params[:transaction])
      if @transaction.save <<< this is line 36
         flash[:notice] = "Successfully created transaction."
         redirect_to items_path
       else
          render :action => 'new'
       end
   end
