Values not being being reflected on page after validation error but model has the values

[rubyrookie]

I have a relationship where a merchant can have multiple payments. I am posting payments to a merchant and there is a validation error. Payment object does have the values retained. Can some one help me fix the issue?

View Code->

<%= @merchant.name %>

<%= form_for([@merchant, @merchant.payments.build]) do |f| %>

<% if @payment.errors.any? %>

<div id="error_explanation">

<h2><%= pluralize(@payment.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this payment from being saved:</h2>

<ul>

<% @payment.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>

<li>

<%= msg %>

</li>

<% end %>

</ul>

</div>

<% end %>

test

// Prints the values correctly

<%= @payment.credit_card_number %> 

<%= @payment.zip %>

<%= @payment.country %>

<div class="field">

<%= f.label :credit_card_number   %>

<br />

<%= f.text_field :credit_card_number , :autocomplete => "off" %>

</div>

<div class="field">

<%= f.label :address_line_2 %>

<br />

<%= f.text_field :address_line_2 %>

</div>

<div class="field">

<%= f.label :city %>

<br />

<%= f.text_field :city %>

</div>

<div class="field">

<%= f.label :zip %>

<br />

<%= f.text_field :zip %>

</div>

<div class="field">

<%= f.label :country %>

<br />

<%= f.text_field :country %>

</div>

<div class="actions">

<%= f.submit %>

</div>

<% end %>

Controller code->

class PaymentsController < ApplicationController

  # GET /merchants/1

  # GET /merchants/1.json

  def new

    @payment = Payment.new

    @merchant = Merchant.find(params[:merchant_id])

    respond_to do |format|

      format.html # show.html.erb

    end

  end

  def index

    if params[:merchant_id]

      @payments =  Merchant.find(params[:merchant_id]).payments

    else

      @payments = Payment.all

    end

    respond_to do |format|

      format.html # index.html.erb

      format.json { render json: @merchants }

    end

  end

  def create

    @merchant = Merchant.find(params[:merchant_id])

    @payment = @merchant.payments.create(params[:payment])

    respond_to do |format|

      if @merchant.save

        format.html {redirect_to merchants_path}

      else

        format.html { render action: "new" }

      end

    end

  end

end

No error . Validation error is populated but form does not retain values. Payment object has the values though.

This is still confusing.  What exactly do you want to do?

• Show the validation errors on the form page?
• Fix the payment process because you don't know what validations are failing?
• retain the values passed by the user when validations fail?

It would've helped if you somehow bolded your answers. anyway, you should be able to do that by

changing this line

<%= form_for([@merchant, @merchant.payments.build]) do |f| %>

to

<%= form_for([@merchant, @payment]) do |f| %>

Good luck!

Thank you very much. I will read up on the difference. Sorry should have bolded my answers.

No worries.  If you're looking for the difference, @payment (as you already know) uses the same

record as the one you have in your controllers.  If you use @merchant.payments.build, you're

creating a new payment record which does not contain the values submitted by the user :)

regarding your question on the field_error_proc. read this one and please don't email users directly :)
