  1. PORails 3.2 build_association is null'ing out my foreign key when the form loads
    text
    copied!<p>I think I need a little help understanding how a simple Rails 3.2 one-to-one association with a nested form works. I have a points form and when I visit it for the first time it loads with everything empty. And when I save everything looks good, it even has the right foreign key. Now, when I try to edit this record again by loading the form, the foreign key (results.pickem_id) gets nulled out and nothing loads in the form. It gets nulled the second <code>@pickem.build_result</code> is called. What do I need to do to allow editing of this form? I feel like I'm on the right track here so hopefully I'm missing something simple. I've included just the relavant code snippets but can provide more if need be.</p> <p>Pickem.rb</p> <pre><code> attr_accessible :result_attributes has_one :result accepts_nested_attributes_for :result </code></pre> <p>Result.rb</p> <p><code>belongs_to :pickem</code></p> <p>pickems_controller.rb</p> <pre><code> def update @pickem = Pickem.find params[:id] if @pickem.update_attributes params[:pickem] redirect_to pickem_path(@pickem), :notice =&gt; 'The pickem has been successfully updated.' else render "edit" end end def results #This is the results form @pickem = Pickem.find params[:id] @pickem.build_result #:pickem_id =&gt; params[:id] end </code></pre> <p>results.html.erb</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= simple_form_for @pickem, :html =&gt; {:class =&gt; "form-horizontal"} do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.simple_fields_for :result do |r| %&gt; &lt;%= r.input :pickem_id, :input_html =&gt; { :value =&gt; params[:id] }, :as =&gt; 'hidden' %&gt; &lt;%= r.input :first_name, :label =&gt; 'First Name:' %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre>
