Rails with Wicked gem. Data will not update

Question

I am using the Wicked gem to create an object in multiple steps. Everything seemed to be working fine until I realized that the data was not saving. I noticed it was not saving whenever url: wizard_path was present in the form builder. When that is not there, the data saves just fine, no matter which step I am on. This is what my controller for the object builder looks like:

class Bids::BuildController < ApplicationController
  include Wicked::Wizard

  steps :intro, :problems, :solutions, :pricing

  def show
    @bid = Bid.find(params[:bid_id])
    render_wizard
  end

  def create
    @bid = Bid.new(bid_params)
    redirect_to wizard_path(steps.first, :bid_id => @bid.id)
  end

  def update
    @bid = Bid.find(params[:bid_id])
    params[:bid][:status] = 'active' if step == steps.last
    @bid.attributes = params[:bid].permit(:bid_attribute)
    render_wizard @bid
  end

  # GET /bids/new
  def new
    @bid = Bid.new
    redirect_to wizard_path(steps.first, :bid_id => @bid.id)
  end

end

You mentioned in your comment that you are permitting params in the bid controller. Add them to your build controller. Since you are building your object in this controller, it needs to have access to the permitted params.

Add:

def build_params
  params.require(:bid).permit(:param_1,:param_2,:param_3,:etc)
end

to your bids/build_controller.rb
