Question

Models in my app

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :dishes, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Dish < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :assets_attributes
  belongs_to :category
  has_many :assets
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :assets, :allow_destroy => true
end

class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :dish
  has_attached_file :asset, :styles => { :large => "640x480", :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }
end

In Gemfile

source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.11'
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.3'
gem 'paperclip'

app/controllers/dishes_controller.rb

class DishesController < ApplicationController

  def new
    @category = Category.find(params[:id])
    @dish = @category.dishes.new(:category_id => params[:id])
    @dish.assets.build    
    @title = "Create dish"
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # new.html.erb
      format.json  { render :json => @category }
    end
  end

  def create
    @category = Category.find(params[:category_id])
    @dish = @category.dishes.create(params[:dish])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { 
        flash[:success] = "Dish created successfully!"
        redirect_to(@category) }
      format.json  { render :json => @category }
    end
  end

While trying to run these code I got an error

SyntaxError in Dishes#new

Showing /home/ragunathjawahar/Desktop/PROJECT/karaikudi-before-send/app/views/dishes/_form.html.erb where line #1 raised:

How to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance…

Answer 1

Correct this line first and tell

    <%= form_for([@category, @dish], :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>

use this line for create dish

            @dish = Dish.create!(:dishCode => params[:dish][:dishCode] ,:name => params[:dish][:name])

instead of

        @dish = @category.dishes.create(params[:dish])   

but first check params[:dish][:dishCode] give you value or not.
