I have a
Person model and an Address Model:
class
Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :address
accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
end
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :person
end
In my people controller I have @person.build_address in my new action. My forms builds correctly. The problem is that when I submit the form, a
person record and an address record is created but they aren't linked via the address_id column in the
Person table.
Am I missing a step in the controller?
Thanks!
New Action
UPDATE
def new
@person =
Person.new
@person.build_address
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @person }
end
end
