I have a one to one relationship with a simple users model and a profiles model:
models/user
class User < ActiveRecord::Base authenticates_with_sorcery! attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation has_one :profile, :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :password, :on => :create validates :password, :confirmation => true, :length => { :within => 6..100 } email_regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i validates :email, :presence => true, :format => { :with => email_regex }, :uniqueness => {:case_sensitive => false}, :length => { :within => 3..50 } end models/profile
# == Schema Information # # Table name: profiles # # id :integer not null, primary key # weight :decimal(, ) # created_at :datetime # updated_at :datetime # class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :weight belongs_to :user end I am doing it this way because I would like users to be able to track weight over time as well as store other more static data like height in profiles.
However, my new and create methods don't seem to be working correctly. I on submit of the new action I get this error:
undefined method `build' for nil:NilClass profile_controller
class ProfilesController < ApplicationController def new @profile = Profile.new if current_user end def create @profile = current_user.profile.build(params[:profile]) if @profile.save flash[:success] = "Profile Saved" redirect_to root_path else render 'pages/home' end end def destory end end and profile view for new
<%= form_for @profile do |f| %> <div class="field"> <%= f.text_field :weight %> </div> <div class="actions"> <%= f.submit "Submit" %> </div> <% end %> Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. Noob here!
