Ruby Question
Association Type mismatch
I am trying to add User details into 2 tables The table Associations are
Distributor Table:
class Distributor < ApplicationRecord
has_one :authentication, dependent: :destroy
end
Authentication Table
class Authentication < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :distributor
belongs_to :user
validates :email,presence: true
before_save :create_remember_token
private
def create_remember_token
self.remember_token = SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64
end
end
Authentication table details
Authentication(id: integer, email: string, password: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, admin: boolean, remember_token: string, user_id: integer, mail_confirmation: boolean, distributor: boolean, distributor_id: integer)
Controller for create
def create
@distributor = Distributor.new(distributor_params)
if @distributor.save
params[:distributor][:distributor_id] = @distributor.id
params[:distributor][:password] = "Default"
params[:distributor][:distributor] = "true"
@authe_distributor = Authentication.new(authen_distributor_params)
if @authe_distributor.save
redirect_to @distributor
else
render 'new'
end
else
render 'new'
end
end
whenever i am trying to add the details i getting this error.. anyone tell me what i am doing wrong..

Your Authentication model has both a column and an association with the same name: distributor. This is problematic because all though you are trying to set the column named distributor to the "true" rails ends up trying to set the association to that value which is what causes the exception.
Rename either the column or the association so that you no longer have this clash and the problem should go away.
