undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass but the article is published


I have created a form in order to create articles, it has fields for title, date, content, main image, and a special field for the multiple upload. Images are uploaded with Carrierwave.

I have two differents models and controllers that work with this form. progress and progress_attachments.

As I want to attach multiple images in order to create a photos gallery I have created this other controller progress_attachment I followed SSR explanations

When I submit my form, I have this error

NoMethodError in ProgressesController#create
    undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Even though the article is published... (I can find it in rails console, and If I go back to the show)

I beleive that this undefined method []comes from my create method in the the progress controller, but I am missing something and I don't understand what...??

progresses_controller.rb

class ProgressesController < ApplicationController

  def index
    @progresses = Progress.all
  end

  def show
    @progress = Progress.find(params[:id])
    @progress_attachments = @progress.progress_attachments.all
  end

  def new
     @progress = Progress.new
     @progress_attachment = @progress.progress_attachments.build
  end

  def create
     @progress = Progress.new(progress_params)

     respond_to do |format|
       if @progress.save
         params[:progress_attachments]['image'].each do |a|
            @progress_attachment = @progress.progress_attachments.create!(:image => a)
         end
         format.html { redirect_to progresses_path, notice: 'Progress was successfully created.' }
       else
         format.html { render action: 'new' }
       end
     end
   end

   def update
     respond_to do |format|
       if @progress.update(article_params)
         format.html { redirect_to @progress, notice: 'Article was successfully updated.' }
         format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @progress }
       else
         format.html { render :edit }
         format.json { render json: @progress.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
       end
     end
   end

   def destroy
     @progress.destroy
     respond_to do |format|
       format.html { redirect_to articles_url, notice: 'Article was successfully destroyed.' }
       format.json { head :no_content }
     end
   end
   private
     def progress_params
        params.require(:progress).permit(:title, :content, :date, :main_image, progress_attachments_attributes: [:id, :progress_id, :image])
     end

end

progress_attachments_controller.rb

class ProgressAttachmentsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_progress_attachment, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

  def index
    @progress_attachments = ProgressAttachment.all
  end

  def new
    @progress_attachment = ProgressAttachment.new
  end

  def create
    @progress_attachment = ProgressAttachment.new(progress_attachment_params)
    @progress_attachment = @progress.progress_attachments.build
    respond_to do |format|
      if @progress_attachment.save
        format.html { redirect_to @progress_attachment, notice: 'Progress attachment was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @progress_attachment }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @progress_attachment.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  def update
    respond_to do |format|
      if @progress_attachment.update(progress_attachment_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @progress_attachment, notice: 'Progress attachment was successfully updated.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @progress_attachment }
      else
        format.html { render :edit }
        format.json { render json: @progress_attachment.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @progress_attachment.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to progress_attachments_url, notice: 'Progress attachment was successfully destroyed.' }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end

  private

    def set_progress_attachment
      @progress_attachment = ProgressAttachment.find(params[:id])
    end

    def progress_attachment_params
      params.require(:progress_attachment).permit(:progress_id, :image)
    end
end

the form in views/progresses/new.html.slim

 = simple_form_for(@progress, html: { multipart: true} ) do |f|
   =f.input :title
   =f.input :date
   =f.input :content
   =f.input :main_image
   =f.simple_fields_for :progress_attachments do |f|
     =f.input_field :image, multiple: true, name: "progress_attachments_attributes[:image][]"
   =f.button :submit 

I have edited the form since I have solved the problem of multiple uploads

models/progress_attachment.rb

class ProgressAttachment < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
  belongs_to :progress
  validates :image, presence: true
end

models/progress.rb

class Progress < ActiveRecord::Base
  default_scope ->{order(created_at: :DESC)}
  mount_uploader :main_image, MainImageUploader
  has_many :progress_attachments
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :progress_attachments

  validates :main_image,   presence: true
  validates :title,   presence: true
  validates :content,  presence: true
  validates :date,    presence: true
end

EDIT

this is my pry on my actual controller.

Thanks for your help


Solution

  • unless params[:progress_attachments].nil?
      params[:progress_attachments]['image'].each do |a|
        @progress_attachment = @progress.progress_attachments.create!(:image => a)
      end
    end
