Association Type mismatch

Question

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..

Answer 1

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.
