Question

I’m having problems with something very simple, that i can’t quite figure out why it isn’t working.

Supposed:

Resources

• Survey
• Year
• User

Also,

• survey belongs_to :year
• survey belongs_to :user

When i try to create a new survey, if I only keep the user relation it works. But if I include both relations, then it fails with

TypeError in SurveysController#create
Cannot visit Year

I can’t figure this out… Any tips?

Answer 1

I had model validation in place which wasn’t right.

validates :user_id, :uniqueness => {:scope => :year, :message => "apenas um registo por ano"}

Of course this was wrong, i should have used

:scope => :year_id

I had been using a collection for the years but turned it into a resource and forgot to check the validation.
