Problems using named models and controllers in Rails
I am developing a Ruby on Rails application and I am trying to streamline my code a little better. Part of the app is the knowledge base, which is organized into categories and articles are pretty standard stuff.
This is how I set everything up (at least what I think is important):
routes.rb
namespace :knowledgebase do
resources :categories
resources :articles
end
Models / Knowledge Base /article.rb
class Knowledgebase::Article < ActiveRecord::Base
self.table_name = 'knowledgebase_articles'
belongs_to :category, class_name: 'Knowledgebase::Category', foreign_key: 'knowledgebase_category_id'
end
Models / Knowledge Base /category.rb
class Knowledgebase::Category < ActiveRecord::Base
self.table_name = 'knowledgebase_categories'
has_many :articles, class_name: 'Knowledgebase::Article'
end
Controllers / Knowledge base / articles _controller.rb
class Knowledgebase::CategoriesController < ApplicationController
load_and_authorize_resource
before_action :authenticate_user!
before_action :set_category, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def new
@category = ::Knowledgebase::Category.new
end
def create
@category = ::Knowledgebase::Category.new(category_params)
if @category.save
redirect_to knowledgebase_categories_url, notice: '...'
else
render :new
end
end
# ...
private
def set_category
@category = ::Knowledgebase::Category.find(params[:id])
end
def category_params
params.require(:category).permit(:title)
end
end
view / knowledge base / categories / _form.html.erb
<%= form_for @category do |form| %>
<%= form.text_field :title
<%= form.submit %>
<% end %>
My problem: when I try to submit a form (new or right), I get an error:
param is missing or the value is empty: category
When I set up the form like this: <%= form_for ([:knowledgebase, @category]) do |form| %>
I get the following error:
undefined method `knowledgebase_knowledgebase_categories_path' for #<#<Class:0x007fecd7a78908>:0x007fecd707ad20>
The same goes for articles. I am using Rails 4.2.3.
If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful - I've searched Google for three days now, I've tried everything I can think of.
Update 1
This is the generated parameter log:
{"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"fjOs...VA==",
"commit"=>"Category erstellen",
"knowledgebase_category"=>{"title"=>"Test Title"}}

When you look at params hash it has knowledgebase_category
not category
. So try changing category_params
to below
def category_params
params.require(:knowledgebase_category).permit(:title)
end
Advice:
Always look at the generated parameters in the log . It really helps to find a solution to most errors.
