Question

I’ve got a form like this (simplified, but you get the idea):

<%= form_for(@brand, :html => { :class => "form-horizontal" }) do |f| %>
  <%= f.fields_for :prices do |price| %>
    <%= price.collection_select(:price, :template_id, Template.all, :id, :name) %>
  <% end %>
  <%= f.submit "Save", :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>

Which when rendered gives me this error

undefined method `all' for ActionView::Template:Class

on the collection_select line.

Template.all works from the controller and the console. If I write a @templates = Template.all and use @templates in the collection_select line then I get this error:

undefined method `merge' for :name:Symbol

Any thoughts?

Solved it. It was annoyingly simple.

<%= price.collection_select(:template_id, @templates, :id, :name) %>

Duplication. Eugh.
