saving to two different models - accepts_nested_attributes_for not working
I''m having trouble with saving to two different models, from one form... I tried to follow rails casts #196 and looked at several other examples here at stackoverflow but I haven''t figured out how to do this because my case is a little bit different... So, I have two models: class Patient < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :date_of_birth, :patient_name has_many :samples end class Sample < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :approved, :patientID, :result, :patient belongs_to :patient accepts_nested_attributes_for :patient end What I found on most of the examples I saw, including the railscasts, is to create a new sample inside the patient form, and the "accepts_nestes_attributes_for" is inside the "patient" model... But what I want to do is exactly the opposite, that is, creating a new patient inside the new sample form. Here''re my views, I have a normal form for the sample and then a partial for the patient part: _form.html.erb <%= form_for(@sample) do |f| %> <% if @sample.errors.any? %> <div id="error_explanation"> <h2><%= pluralize(@sample.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this sample from being saved:</h2> <ul> <% @sample.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %> <li><%= msg %></li> <% end %> </ul> </div> <% end %> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :result %><br /> <%= f.text_area :result %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :approved %><br /> <%= f.check_box :approved %> </div> <div><%= render ''patient'' %></div> <div class="actions"> <%= f.submit %> </div> <% end %> patient.html.erb <%= fields_for :patient do |p| %> <div class="field"> <%= p.label :patient_name %><br /> <%= p.text_field :patient_name %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= p.label :date_of_birth %><br /> <%= p.date_select :date_of_birth %> </div> <% end %> When I click the submit button everything seems to work, but nothing is saved into the patients table. Here''s the log: Started POST "/samples" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-10-12 23:32:03 +0100 Processing by SamplesController#create as HTML Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"13OKZ8DaGJ4zTb35q+ymSzx7r+Ipxou1u+XrR4jtyeI=", "sample"=>{"result"=>"teste 3", "approved"=>"0"}, "patient"=>{"patient_name"=>"Joao", "date_of_birth(1i)"=>"2013", "date_of_birth(2i)"=>"10", "date_of_birth(3i)"=>"10"}, "commit"=>"Create Sample"} (0.1ms) begin transaction SQL (0.5ms) INSERT INTO "samples" ("approved", "created_at", "patientID", "result", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?) [["approved", false], ["created_at", Sat, 12 Oct 2013 22:32:03 UTC +00:00], ["patientID", nil], ["result", "teste 3"], ["updated_at", Sat, 12 Oct 2013 22:32:03 UTC +00:00]] (2.4ms) commit transaction Redirected to http://localhost:3000/samples/3 Completed 302 Found in 6ms (ActiveRecord: 2.9ms) As you can see in the log, it''s only saving to the sample table. Can I use accepts_nested_attributes_for this way? Is there a way to achieve what I want? Or should I try a different approach? After I solve this I will try to check first if the patient exists or not before committing and try to do as SAYT on the patient''s name... but that''s a future step!
