ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Technologies portfolio must exist

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I was trying to save nested attributes for technologies with portfolio, I have the following code: portfolio.rb (model)

class Portfolio < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :technologies
  # do not accept the insertion if name is blank
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :technologies,
                                 reject_if: lambda{ |attrs| attrs['name'].blank? }
  validates_presence_of :title, :body, :main_image, :thumb_image
  include Placeholder
  validates_presence_of :title, :body, :main_image, :thumb_image

  # class method - custom scope
  def self.angulars
    where(subtitle: "Angular")
  end 

  # lambda - custom scope
  scope :ruby_on_rails_p_items, -> { where(subtitle: "Ruby on Rails") }

  # callbackss
  after_initialize :set_defaults

  def set_defaults
    self.main_image ||= Placeholder.image_generator(height:'600', width:'400')
    self.thumb_image ||= Placeholder.image_generator(height:'350', width:'200')
  end 
end

technology.rb model:

class Technology < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :portfolio
end

Now when I go to the rails console and try to insert multiple attributes:

Portfolio.create!(title: "Web App", subtitle: "asadasd", body: "sadsadas", technologies_attributes: [{name: "Ruby"}, {name: "Rails"}, {name: "Angula"}, {name: "Ionic"}])

It gave me this error:

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Technologies portfolio must exist
    from /Users/mac/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/gems/activerecord-5.0.7/lib/active_record/validations.rb:78:in `raise_validation_error'

Any idea what am I missing here?

Schema for both technology and portfolio:

  create_table "portfolios",
                                                

                                                                                                        
                                                    
                                                
                                                

                                                    

                                                        
                                                            0

                                                            0
                                                            shares
