Error trying to call a method on an object that belongs to another object - ruby

I have recs, which belong to a list, and lists, which have many recs. I am trying to figure out why I can't call my 'to_do' method below on the recs that belong to a list? This is in the 2nd row of view code. I'm getting the following error:
SQLite3::SQLException: near ")": syntax error: SELECT "recs".* FROM "recs" WHERE "recs"."list_id" = ? AND (done = 'false'))
Rec Model
class Rec < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :list
scope :to_do, lambda {where("done = ?)", 'false')}
end
List model
class List < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :recs
end
Controller
def index
#recs = Rec.to_do
#lists = List.all
#networks = Network.all
end
View
<% network.lists.eat_lists.each do |list| %>
<% if list.recs.to_do.present? %>
<%= list.name %></br>
<% list.recs.each do |rec| %>
<%= rec.name.split(',').first %>
<%= rec.notes %>
<%= rec.done %>
<%= link_to 'Done', marked_as_done_url(rec), method: :patch %></br>
<%= link_to 'Delete', rec, method: :delete %></br>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>

change your scope to this scope :to_do, lambda {where("done = ?", false)} or scope :to_do, lambda {where(done:false}, notice i have removed one closing bracket in string

Missing Params on Post in Rails?

I'm learning Ruby on Rails at the moment and we're making a blog app to learn about crud actions and such and I'm stuck on this create method in my controller not working as it does in the course. I'm having trouble the create method in this controller:
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def show
#article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
def index
#articles = Article.all
end
def new
end
def create
#article = Article.new(params.require(:article).permit(:title, :description))
#article.save
redirect_to #article
end
end
I get this error when trying to create an article:
ActionController::ParameterMissing in ArticlesController#create
param is missing or the value is empty: article
It seems to be getting hung up on the first line of the create method but I'm not sure why it doesn't think there's an article... Here's my new article view as well for further reference:
<h1>Create a new Article</h1>
<%= form_with scope: #article, url: articles_path, local: true do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :title %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :description %><br/>
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
Check whether your parameters coming under hash with key article like this -
{"article"=>{params}}
Also initiate Article object in new action.
You can redefine the params to permit like this:
in controller new method create object
#article = Article.new
and in form HTML add one more option use method: "post"

has_many and belongs_ association rails 4

I am while leraning how to use association in rails 4 application
I have a user having many opinions and I want to add user opinion in the book show page
This is how i proceed:
my user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :panier
has_many :opinions
end
opinion.rb
class Opinion < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
views/books/show.html.erb
<h2>Votre opinion nous intéresse:</h2>
<%= form_for([#user, #user.opinions.build]) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :body, 'votre opinion' %><br>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
opinion_controller.rb
class OpinionsController < ApplicationController
def create
#user = current_user
#opinion= #user.opinion.create(opinion_params)
end
private
def opinion_params
params.require(:opinion).permit(:body)
end
end
and in books_controllers this is my show method:
def show
#user= current_user
#books= Book.all
end
my routes:
get 'books/show' => 'books#show' , as: :books_list
resources :users do
resources :opinions
end
what I got as error:
undefined method `opinions' for nil:NilClass
in this line of code:
Most probably #user.opinions in your form causing this issue. check whether current_user returning object or not.
Also in your create method there is typo(#user.opinion), it should be #user.opinions.
Use accept nested attributes for same.

Clarification on accessing methods

I am having trouble accessing a method i have written in a class, the problem is im trying to access it within an instance of that class, but would appreciate someone explain in a bit more details as to why this doesn't work and things to look at to get a solution.
I have created a simple helper method to use in my view to join two attributes
class TeamMember < ActiveRecord::Base
def fullname
"#{self.forename} #{self.surname}"
end
end
Within my view (show action) I want to be able to use this method
def show
#team_member = TeamMember.find(params[:id])
end
So doing this for example gives me an undefined method
<%= link_to fullname(#team_member) %>
OR
<% #team_member.each do |t| %>
<%= link_to fullname, t %>
<% end %>
Whereas this works
<% #team_member.each do |t| %>
<%= link_to "#{t.forename} #{t.surname}", t %>
<% end %>
Could someone help to clarify this for me so that i can learn from it please
You defined fullname method in your TeamMember class, but you try to call this method with implicit receiver in view, which is ActionView::Base instance. Instead, you should use explicit receiver, which must be TeamMember instance:
<%= link_to #team_member.fullname, #team_member %>
and:
<%= link_to t.fullname, t %>

Rails 4: Routing and sharing actions between controllers? What's the proper convention?

I'm building a Todo list in rails trying to learn how it all works. I'm having an issue with calling the action of a controller from the view of another controller.
I have a TodoList has_many TodoItem and TodoItem belongs_to TodoList.
TodoList#Model
has_many :todo_items
def has_completed_items?
todo_items.complete.size > 0
end
def has_incompleted_items?
todo_items.incomplete.size > 0
end
TodoItem#Model
belongs_to :todo_list
scope :complete, -> { where("completed_at is not null") }
scope :incomplete, -> { where(completed_at: nil) }
def completed?
!completed_at.blank?
end
Routes
resources :todo_lists do
resources :todo_items do
member do
patch :complete
end
end
end
Patch generates this route:
complete_todo_list_todo_item PATCH
/todo_lists/:todo_list_id/todo_items/:id/complete(.:format)
todo_items#complete
Now I can call this path from my TodoItem views without a problem like this: <%= link_to "Mark", complete_todo_list_todo_item_path(todo_item), method: :patch %>
After adding complete/incomplete scope to my TodoItem I added the following to my TodoList show view:
TodoList#Show
<% #todo_list.has_incompleted_items? %>
<% #todo_list.todo_items.incomplete.each do |item| %>
<li><%= item.content %></li>
<% end %>
This is properly displaying the incomplete items, so I tried to put a link to mark the item complete from within this view like this:
<% #todo_list.has_incompleted_items? %>
<% #todo_list.todo_items.incomplete.each do |item| %>
<li><%= item.content %>
<%= link_to "Mark", complete_todo_list_todo_item_path(item), method: :patch %></li>
<% end %>
Now this is where I get the following error:
NoMethodError in TodoLists#show undefined method
`complete_todo_list_todo_items_path' for #<#:0x000001071cf540>
Why is this complete#action undefined from my TodoList#show view?
What is the proper convention to share actions between controllers?
Thank you for your help.
I was able to solve this problem by removing the member block from the routes file:
resources :todo_lists do
resources :todo_items do
patch :complete
end
end
Now my action route was updated to: todo_list_todo_item_complete
So from my view I had to call the new route with it's nested resource:
link_to "Mark", todo_list_todo_item_complete_path(#todo_list, item), method: :patch
Lastly I had to update my controller to locate the proper todo_item#id in the complete block:
#todo_item = #todo_list.todo_items.find(params[:todo_item_id])

How can I use do edit-in-place on three different models from a View for a model those three belong_to?

I would like to enable edit-in-place functionality in a View that displays values from different models:
This is what I use currently and it does NOT work, but would like some alternatives:
I have a model called Campaign. In the controller, I do the following to list, in order, the three Models that belong_to a Campaign:
<% #campaign_events = campaign_events %>
<% #campaign_events.each do |campaign_event| %>
<% model_name = campaign_event.class.name.tableize.singularize %>
<p>
<%= link_to campaign_event.title, send("#{model_name}_path", campaign_event) %>
<span class='model_name'>(<%= model_name.capitalize %>)</span>
<%= campaign_event.days %> Days
</p>
<% end %>
campaign_event is a campaign_helper defined as:
module CampaignsHelper
def campaign_events
return (#campaign.calls + #campaign.emails + #campaign.letters).sort{|a,b| a.days <=> b.days}
end
end
I want to be able to click on the numerical value for Days when looking at the view/campaign/show and edit the value for :days (in this case, displayed as campaign_event.days
I'm not really sure about it, but I'll try to help... I believe something like the following may work for you:
# calls controller
in_place_edit_for :call, :days
# emails controller
in_place_edit_for :email, :days
# letters controller
in_place_edit_for :letter, :days
# campaign view
<% #campaign_events = campaign_events %>
<% #campaign_events.each do |campaign_event| %>
<% controller_name = campaign_event.class.name.tableize %>
<% model_name = controller_name.singularize %>
<p>
<%= link_to campaign_event.title,
send("#{model_name}_path", campaign_event) %>
<span class='model_name'>(<%= model_name.capitalize %>)</span>
<%= in_place_editor_field model_name, :days, {},
:url => {
:controller => controller_name,
:action => 'set_#{model_name}_title',
:id => campaign_event.id} %> Days
</p>
<% end %>
There's somethings I don't know exactly how to do:
1) in_place_editor_field model_name
I believe this won't work, but I don't know how to pass the model_name.
2) :action => 'set_#{controller_name}_title'
Not sure about it also. Just doesn't look right.
Anyway, hope it helps you... and forgive me if this is completely stupid.
