Question

I have 2 nested models:

class Interstate
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :name, :type => String
  field :url, :type => String
  field :time_zone, :type => String
  embeds_many :roadmaps
end

class Roadmap
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :title, :type => String
  field :privacy, :type => Integer
  field :interstate_id, :type => Integer
  embedded_in :interstate, :inverse_of => :roadmaps
end

I’m not sure about the difference between has_many|belongs_to and embeds_many|embedded_in, but according to documentations last is better for me, anyway both doesn’t work. Also I have nested resources:

 resources :interstates do
   resources :roadmaps
 end

And Error appears when I’m trying to create Roadmap in Interstate.

Roadmap controller is standard scaffold with before_filter method for Interstate defining:

 private
 def get_interstate
   @interstate = Interstate.find(params[:interstate_id])
 end

In case with embeds_many :roadmaps and embedded_in :interstate other error occurs:

NoMethodError in Roadmaps#new

Full stack

So, maybe I should add some options to cancel notifying, but more intresting why format is Symbol, I guess it should be Some Model Object. Perhaps @interstate is not the model.

This code works with sqlite db correctly.

Answer 1

The issue was in round brackets instead of squared.

simple_form_for [@interstate, @roadmap]
