Question

I have a User and Account models with has_one association and nested attributes.
My problem is that when signing up user via Devise, Account is not created and no error is generated in the log.
I am using Rails 3.2 with Devise 2.0.4.

user.rb

class User
  include Mongoid::Document

  has_one :account, :inverse_of => :user

  accepts_nested_attributes_for :account

  field :name
  validates_presence_of :name
  validates_uniqueness_of :name, :email, :case_sensitive => false
  attr_accessible :name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :account_attributes

  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
  ...
end

account.rb

class Account
  include Mongoid::Document

  belongs_to :user, :inverse_of => :account

  field :name

  validates_presence_of :user
  attr_accessible :name, :user_id

end

registration_controller.rb

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  def new
    resource = build_resource({})
    resource.build_account
    respond_with resource
  end
end 

view

<h2>Sign up</h2>

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= devise_error_messages! %>

  <%= f.fields_for :account do |account_form| %>
    <div><%= account_form.label 'Company' %>
    <%= account_form.text_field :name %></div>
  <% end %>
...

here is my console output

As you can see, I do not see anything about creating Account. Also verified that no Account collection is created by viewing the MongoDB. What am I missing?
Thanks you for your help in advance.

Solved the problem.
I needed to turn on :autosave

has_one :account, :inverse_of => :user, :autosave => true

mongoid docs pointed at the problem.

Note that the :autosave option needs to be enabled for relational associations that accepts_nested_attributes_for is used for if you don’t want to manually save the relation on update.
