I'm using Postman to test my API and I'm getting this error when making a call to http://localhost:3000/users.json
to create a new user:
param is missing or the value is empty: user
All the parameters seem to be ok.
I set this in my application controller:
protect_from_forgery with: :null_session
My controller method is the basic scaffold generated method:
def create
@user = User.new(user_params)
respond_to do |format|
if @user.save
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @user }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot of what I'm doing in Postman.
The issue was that my parameters weren't wrapped up as a user
object. For instance, in my case, I would have to change the parameter:
username
For:
user[username]
Doing that for all parameters made the test work.
