Not saving on the database from nested form - ruby

Question

I want to create a dummy account for a new User object. Whenever a user signs up in my app it should automatically create an account for him.
But what's happening is, I'm saving in the database the new User, but not the new Account. I'm also not aware what's the best way to respect the MVC pattern design when it comes to this situation. I'm afraid of replicating code or to have one controller doing the work of two.
The sign up form, has nested resources (and it's build on top of devise)
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
<div><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></div>
<div><%= f.label :email %><br />
<%= f.email_field :email, :autofocus => true %></div>
<div><%= f.label :password %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password %></div>
<div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>
<p>Account name</p>
<%= f.fields_for :account do |builder| %>
<fieldset>
<%= builder.label :title %>
<%= builder.text_field :title %>
</fieldset>
<% end %>
<div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div>
<% end %>
<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>
My User Model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
has_many :accounts
accepts_nested_attributes_for :accounts
end
and my Account Model:
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
My User Controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
##flash[:success] = "Welcome to the HighTide!"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password,
:password_confirmation, accounts_attributes: [:id, :title])
end
end
and finally the Account Controller:
class AccountsController < ApplicationController
def new
#account = #user.accounts.new
end
def create
#account = current_user.accounts.new(account_params)
if #account.save
redirect_to '/'
end
end
private
def account_params
params.require(:account).permit(:title, :user_id, products_attributes: [:id, :title, :units], bookings_attributes: [:id, :name, :check_in, :check_out])
end
end
EDIT:
routes.rb file
Hightide::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users, path_names: {sign_in: "login", sign_out: "logout"}
resources :users do
resources :accounts
end
resources :sessions
match '/users/:user/edit', to: 'users#edit', via: [:post, :get]
devise_scope :user do
root to: 'static_pages#home'
match '/sessions/user', to: 'devise/sessions#create', via: :post
end

Answer 1

Your form_for can only send its data to a single controller method, and in this case it is sending the params from your form to the Devise registrations controller. Those params include the values for the new account, but they never reach your users#create or accounts#create methods.
You'll probably have to create a custom Devise controller. Take a look at this SO question and answer, which lays it out nicely. Nested registration data in Rails 3.1 with Devise.
