I have an update button that doesn''t update. Watching the server
during the attempt, I see:
Processing OrvesController#update (for 128.119.60.171 at 2010-04-02
13:13:29) [PUT]
Parameters: {"orf"=>nil,
"commit"=>"Update", "id"=>"19544"}
orf is my model I''m trying to update in the database. Why is it nil?
The view for the page with the update button is called edit.html.erb
and contains:
<h1>Editing orf</h1>
<table>
<% form_for @orf do |f| %></td>
<td><%= f.error_messages %>
<td><%= h @orf.locus_tag %></td>
<td><%= f.text_field ''current_annotation'', :size
=> 50 %></td>
<td><%= f.submit "Update" %></td>
<td><%= button_to "Undo last change", :action
=> :undo_last_change, :id => @orf %></td>
<% end %>
orf''s attributes locus_tag and current_annotation are being correctly
displayed.
Here''s the update method:
def update
@orf = Orf.find(params[:id])
if @orf.update_attributes(params[:orf])
flash[:notice] = ''Orf was successfully updated.''
redirect_to orf_path
else
flash[:notice] = ''Update failed.''
redirect_to orf_path
end
end
routes.rb contains the line:
map.resources :orves
No error message appears in the web browser. The update just doesn''t
change anything.
I''m running Rails 2.3.0.
Any idea what I''m doing wrong?

I find the html validator add-in for firefox excellent as it checks my html as I develop the app, making sure I do not make such errors. Also you can paste your html into the w3c htlm validator (find with google if necessary) to check it. It is a pain that forms cannot be wrapped around table cells but that is the way it is, some browsers will cope with it but it cannot be guaranteed. A form can only wrap a whole table or fit entirely within a cell.

Thanks for the reply. I''ve now fixed the html (removed the table), but it didn''t fix the problem. The edit view is: <h1>Editing orf</h1> <% form_for @orf do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <%= h @orf.locus_tag %> <%= f.text_field ''current_annotation'', :size => 50 %> <%= f.submit "Update" %> <%= button_to "Undo last change", :action => :undo_last_change, :id => @orf %> <% end %> I''m not sure what you mean about taking a look at the raw data posted by the browser to see if it is malformed. I turned on Firebug and looked at what it was trying to do when I pressed my "Update" button and I don''t see anything wrong. It shows: _method put commit Update orf[current_annotation] hypothetical proteinski That looks OK to me , but I don''t really know what I should be looking for. I was trying to change the current_annotation from hypothetical protein to hypothetical proteinski, so it looks like it tried. But the change doesn''t happen. Any suggestion of how to troubleshoot this further?

It shows:Try the html validator addon for firefox as I suggested, or/and the w3c html validator (google will find it). Then you know your html is valid. Then have a look at the debugging guide at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ which will show how to break into your code using ruby-debug (and other debugging techniques) to find out what is going wrong. Also have a look at the params in the log and convince yourself the data are there as expected.

Colin,
I don''t know how to determine if validation is happening or whether it
is successful.
The edit.html.erb is:
<h1>Editing orf</h1>
<% form_for @orf do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= h @orf.locus_tag %>
<%= f.text_field ''current_annotation'', :size => 50
%>
<%= f.submit "Update" %>
<% end %>
the update method is:
def update
@orf = Orf.find(params[:id])
if @orf.update_attributes(params[:orf])
#if @orf.update_attribute(:current_annotation,
@orf[ "current_annotation" ])
flash[:notice] = ''Orf was successfully updated.''
redirect_to orf_path
else
flash[:notice] = ''Update failed.''
redirect_to orf_path
end
end
and the log (upon clicking the button shows:

Colin,
Here is the html of the form, before I press the update button:
<h1>Editing orf</h1>
<form action="/orves/1705" class="edit_orf"
id="edit_orf_1705"
method="post"><div
style="margin:0;padding:0"><input name="_method"
type="hidden" value="put" /></div>
Gura_0317
<input id="orf_current_annotation"
name="orf[current_annotation]"
size="50" type="text" value="hypothetical protein"
/>
<input id="orf_submit" name="commit"
type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>
When I paste it into the html validator (on their web page), I get:
Validation Output: 2 Errors
1. Error Line 1, Column 1: no document type declaration; will parse
without validation
<h1>Editing orf</h1>
✉
The document type could not be determined, because the document
had no correct DOCTYPE declaration. The document does not look like
HTML, therefore automatic fallback could not be performed, and the
document was only checked against basic markup syntax.
Learn how to add a doctype to your document from our FAQ, or use
the validator''s Document Type option to validate your document against
a specific Document Type.
2. Error Line 2, Column 77: document type does not allow element
"FORM" here
…_orf" id="edit_orf_1705"
method="post"><div style="margin:
0;padding:0"><input …
✉
The element named above was found in a context where it is not
allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements --
such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of
inside
"head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in
HTML documents. Due to HTML''s rules of implicitly closed elements,
this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML''s
"self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the
"head" section of a
HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head"
section and the beginning of the "body" section (where
"link" and
"meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
3. Warning Line 2, Column 158: NET-enabling start-tag requires
SHORTTAG YES
…e="margin:0;padding:0"><input name="_method"
type="hidden"
value="put" /></div>
✉
The sequence <FOO /> can be interpreted in at least two
different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML
4.01 Strict, the ''/'' terminates the tag <FOO (with an
implied ''>'').
However, since many browsers don''t interpret it this way, even in the
presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it
completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those
written in XHTML.
4. Warning Line 5, Column 120: NET-enabling start-tag requires
SHORTTAG YES

Colin,
I added a layout file that had gone missing and now it validates. The
html;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"

<meta http-equiv="content-type"

<title>Orves: edit</title>
<link href="/stylesheets/baby.css?1270578037"

<input id="orf_submit" name="commit"

</form>

</html>
And the validation report:
HTML Validator
0 errors, 0 warnings
The validated page has no errors, no warning found by the SGML Parser
and HTML Tidy.
But it still doesn''t update the database.

Colin, I don''t have a new method or view, as the db gets populated by a script that directly accesses the MySQL db. Thus the db records aren''t created by Rails at all, which might be the source of the problem I don''t know. The thing is, it all worked fine before we upgraded to Rails 2. I''ll try to add a new method and view and try it out.

Fred, Is this what you meant? With Firebug open, I go to the form as a user would, change the annotation "hypothetical protein" to "hypothetical proteinski", then click the update button. In firebug, I see a new POST request. I can examine it with any of four Firebug tabs (Headers, Post, Response, HTML). Using the "post" tab, I see: _method put commit Update orf[current_annotation] hypothetical proteinski Under the "Request" tab in Firebug, I can examine the Request header, which is: Host andromeda.micro.umass.edu:8080 User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv: 1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100315 Firefox/3.5.9 Accept text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive 300 Connection keep-alive Referer http://andromeda.micro.umass.edu:8080/orves/1705/edit Cookie []; []; __utma=198765611.347868135.1233253686.1269352816.1269440269.55; __utmz=198765611.1269352816.54.21.utmccn=(organic)|utmcsr=google| utmctr=umass+map|utmcmd=organic; ["_baby_session=BAh7BzoPc2Vzc2lvbl9pZCIlMTYxODY1MmVkZDMyOWU3MmJiNjAyM2ZiOTY5NmRmNTNJIgpmbGFzaAY6DWVuY29kaW5nIg1VUy1BU0NJSUlDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6Rmxhc2hIYXNoewAGOgpAdXNlZHsA-- ee8a24f1c308ec43a2b838d45cdb58e9a777ed4c; [] On Apr 6, 5:56 pm, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Apr 6, 8:30 pm, dirtbug <nyoun...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Colin, > > > The log now shows: > > > Processing OrvesController#update (for 128.119.60.171 at 2010-04-06 > > 14:48:28) [PUT] > > Have you had a look (with tcpdump, Firebug etc. ) at exactly what your > form sends to the server? > > Fred-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

When I did create, it did make an object and a row in the database table. When I go in thru mysql, I can see that it was able to fill three fields: id (which is an autoincrement field), the created_at and updated_at fields, which got timestamps, but none of the info that I had entered into the boxes in the form made it into the db.

I am a little confused. If your HTML form shows this: <form action="/orves/1705" ... How can the action executed be this: Processing OrvesController#update... I would have thought the action executed was ''orves'', receiving an id with value 1705? I''m sorry if I''m off here. Routing has still many mysteries for me. Also, could it be that when you execute "@orf = Orf.find(params[:id])" the ''find'' is finding nothing? If that were the case @orf would not even be an instance of Orf, it would be just nil, although I''m guessing you''d get an ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception.

@dirtbug:
I''m somewhat a newcomer myself, but found this article:
http://jeremyhubert.com/articles/debugging-in-rails.html
to be particularly helpful. It shows simple strategies for debugging
views, controllers and models.
Myself, I''ve gotten good mileage out of judiciously placed calls to
"logger.debug zzz=#{zzz}"
Hope this helps.
