-My routes.rb

-resources :manufacturers do - resources :vehicle_data -end

-In controller

  • def create
  • @manufacturer = Manufacturer.find(params[:manufacturer_id])
  • @vehicle_data = @manufacturer.vehicle_data.create(params[:vehicle_data])
  • @vehicle_data.save -end

-In Views

-<%= form_for([@manufacturer, @manufacturer.vehicle_data.build]) do |f| %>

-When trying to create new record

-NameError in Vehicle_data#index

-Showing C:/Users.../app/views/vehicle_data/index.html.erb where line #12 raised:

-uninitialized constant Manufacturer::VehicleDatum -Extracted source (around line #12):

-9: -10: -11: -12: <%= form_for([@manufacturer, @manufacturer.vehicle_data.build]) do |f| %> -13:
-14:

How do I make this form work??? Why the model name is changed from VehicleData to VehicleDatum

Rails expects models to be the singular form of the resource you defined, and the singular of data is datum, so it expects your class to be a VehicleDatum. If this isn't the pluralization that you want to use, see How do I override rails naming conventions?

  • Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.irregular 'VehicleDatum', 'vehicles' end +Getting error NameError: uninitialized constant Inflector – user1340906 Apr 25 '12 at 03:00
  • try putting it in config/initializers/inflectors.rb and use `ActiveSupport::Inflector` as in http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Inflector/Inflections.html – Ben Taitelbaum Apr 25 '12 at 03:13
