Devise, create a user that belongs to company

I want to create a user with Devise, that have a belongs_to association.

What is missing? What needs to create a user that belongs to a company from a select list?

my form have this:

.siimple-form-field
= f.label :name, class: "siimple-label"
br
= f.text_field :name, autofocus: true, autocomplete: "email", class: "siimple-input siimple-input--fluid siimple--height-50"
.siimple-form-field
label.siimple-label
| Select an option:
= f.fields_for :company_attributes do |b|
= b.select :company, Company.all.collect{|p| [p.name, p]}, {}, class: "siimple-select siimple-select--fluid"


the form shows ok, so when i try to submit, it says:

1 error prohibited this user from being saved:

Company must exist


Also my RegistrationsController have:

def create
super
end


def configure_sign_up_params
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name, :bank])
end


fields_for

company_id

I think your problem here is that the company parameters are not being permitted (which means the company gets set to nil, hence the Company must exist error).

nil

Company must exist

You have to override Devise's resource_params method to add your company_id attribute. Try putting this in your Registrations controller:

resource_params

company_id

def resource_params
params.require(:user).permit(:user_attribute_foo, :user_attribute_bar, :company_id)
end


I think your column name is company_id and you are using company in the form. Try by changing it and permit this parameter.

Solved!

First them all, the registration controller was not overriden in the routes files, just got this:

devise_for :users, controllers: {
sessions: 'users/sessions',
# something missing no?

}


Fixed it with

devise_for :users, controllers: {
sessions: 'users/sessions',
registrations: 'users/registrations'

}


Then, just do common things like add something like this to the controller:

def create
params[:user][:company] = Company.find(params[:user][:company_id])
super
end


And add the missing permission to configure_sign_up_params

configure_sign_up_params

def configure_sign_up_params
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name, :company_id, :company])
end
