I am new rails and was creating a simple application where a user will can add posts and then add comments to that posts. the code for the model is
# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: comments
#
# id :integer not null, primary key
# issue_id :integer
# content :text
# created_at :datetime
# updated_at :datetime
#
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :issue
end
the code for the controller is
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
@issue = Issue.find(params[:issue_id])
@comment = @issue.comments.create(comment_params)
if @comment.save
redirect_to :controller => 'issues', :action => 'index'
else
render 'new'
end
end
def create
end
private
def comment_params
params.require(:comment).permit(:content)
end
end
the following association has ben added to issue controller
has_many :comments
when I enter the data in the form, the rails doesn't save the data to the database, instead it shows me the contents of the file comment.html.erb
Please help
When you declare methods in a Ruby class, the last definition of the method overrides any previous declaration that has the same method name.
You have two create methods, one with logic and the second one empty. Because the second one is empty, it's being run instead of the first one, where all your logic is.
