I have a form with a simple text field where I require the form to be filled out:
<%= f.text_field :email, :required => true %>
The next field is a collection_select type where I want to force the user to select a choice. I tried:
<%= f.collection_select(:list_ids, List.where(user_id: current_user), :id, :name, {}, {multiple: true}), :required => true %>
which gives me the error:
syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')' ..., :name, {}, {multiple: true}), :required => true );@output_... ... ^
Without the :required => true option the code works fine. How do I force a selection by the user in this case? Thanks
Try changing this
<%= f.collection_select(:list_ids, List.where(user_id: current_user), :id, :name, {}, {multiple: true}), :required => true %>
to this
<%= f.collection_select :list_ids, List.where(user_id: current_user), :id, :name, {}, {multiple: true, required: true} %>
