Good Morning.
I'm following the tutorial http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html and I find the following:
I have a controller called ArticlesController. The create method uses the "if @ article.save" statement to save the @article object, and if something goes wrong then render 'new'. Similarly the update method uses "if @article.update (article_params)" to update the record for that article, and if something goes wrong render 'edit'.
In new and edit views <% if @ article.errors.any? %> is used to determine if there was any error and display the corresponding message, but the problem is that in the new view works fine, but in the edit view @article.errors.any view? returns false even if there is an error.
Can someone tell me what's wrong. Thank you very much.
Then I put the ArticlesController class, the views new.html.erb and edit.html.erb, and the article model.
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def new
@article = Article.new
end
def edit
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
if @article.update(article_params)
redirect_to @article
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def index
@articles = Article.all
end
def show
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
def create
@article = Article.new(article_params)
if @article.save
redirect_to @article
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def article_params
params.require(:article).permit(:title, :text)
end
end
