param is missing or the value is empty: task. How can I make possible to add a "To Do" while also rendering the view to create a project?

Question

I want that when the user creates a project s/he could also add new tasks into it. I have figured out this "solution" and I have encountred this error that I can't solve.

I dont even know of it is "ruby correct" that I mix tasks actions with the projects controller. The reason I took this approach is that I couldn't figure out for a solution for doing so in the views and make the project be saved..

This is my projects_controler.rb

  class ProjectsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_project, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
  before_action :authenticate_user!

  def create
    @project = Project.new(project_params)
    @task = Task.new(task_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @project.save and @task.save
        format.html { redirect_to @project, notice: 'Project was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @project }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # PATCH/PUT /projects/1
  # PATCH/PUT /projects/1.json
  def update
     respond_to do |format|
     if @project.update(project_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @project, notice: 'Project was successfully updated.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @project }
      else
        format.html { render :edit }
        format.json { render json: @project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # DELETE /projects/1
  # DELETE /projects/1.json
  def destroy
    # @list = List.find(params[:id])
    @project.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to projects_url, notice: 'Project was successfully destroyed.' }
  format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end

  private
    # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
    def set_project
      @project = Project.find(params[:id])
    end

    # Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
    def project_params
      params.require(:project).permit(:title, :description, :done, :user_id)
    end



    def set_task
      @task = Task.find(params[:id])
    end

    def task_params
      params.require(:task).permit(:title, :done, :project_id)
    end
end

In task_params

params.require(:task).permit(:title, :done)

and create method should be like

def create
  @project = Project.new(project_params)
  @project.tasks.build(task_params)

  respond_to do |format|
    if @project.save and @task.save
      format.html { redirect_to @project, notice: 'Project was successfully created.' }
      format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @project }
    else
      format.html { render :new }
      format.json { render json: @project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    end
  end
end
