Rails 4: Change Database Values

Question

I'm fairly new to rails and struggling on changing database values after the user successfully paid via stripe. Additionally after paying, it somehow redirects me everytime to '/subscriberjobs/1' which doesn't exist. Instead it should direct to the root_path of the application.

Here is what I've got:

Routes

resources :subscriberjobs
resources :jobs

Jobs Controller

def new
  if current_user
    @job = current_user.jobs.build
  else
    redirect_to new_user_session_path
  end
end
def create
  @job = current_user.jobs.build(job_params)

  if @job.save
    redirect_to '/subscriberjobs/new'
  else
    render 'new'
  end
end

Subscriberjobs Controller (Here is what doesn't work!)

class SubscriberjobsController < ApplicationController

    before_filter :authenticate_user!

    def new
    end

    def update

        token = params[stripeToken]

        customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
            card: token,
            plan: 1004,
            email: current_user.email
            )

        Job.is_active = true # doesn't work
        Job.is_featured = false # doesn't work
        Job.stripe_id = customer.id # doesn't work
        Job.save # doesn't work

        redirect_to root_path # doesn't work

    end
end

Please tell me if you need additional information. Every answer is very appreciated. Thanks!

what are you trying to do at this statement? - Job.is_active. — dnsh, Sep 11 '16 at 11:42
@Bartek Gładys An error because it's directing me to a page which doesn't exist. That's why I would like to redirect to root_path. Additionally I saw in the console that `is_active` is still false and not true — Gugubaight, Sep 11 '16 at 11:42
@vyom `is_active` is a param of Job Model. => I've created a job => then I get redirected to the payments and after I've payed it should set the `is_active` param of the Job just created to `true` => and then it should redirect to the root_pah — Gugubaight, Sep 11 '16 at 11:43
@Gugubaight I think you should access it like object.is_active , why are you calling it like Class.is_active ? — dnsh, Sep 11 '16 at 11:45
@Gugubaight, Are you able to run that same line on rails console successfully? I am assuming that is_active is property of Job Model's object not of Job Model's. — dnsh, Sep 11 '16 at 11:48
@Gugubaight, you should create a new object or find existing saved in database and then set is_active to it. — dnsh, Sep 11 '16 at 11:50
I am able to get the value of it wth: `Job.first.is_active` -> `=> false` So I struggle on getting the id of it. — Gugubaight, Sep 11 '16 at 11:51
Yep, but how do send the id from the creation in the Jobs controller to the Subscriberjobs controller? — Gugubaight, Sep 11 '16 at 11:53
Do you have a `root` defined in your `routes.rb`? Otherwise `root_path` will not work. — spickermann, Sep 11 '16 at 12:22
@spickermann I do have a root defined: `authenticated :user do root 'tools#index', as: "authenticated_root" end root 'welcome#index'` — Gugubaight, Sep 11 '16 at 12:26

Send saved job id to subscriberjobs/new as a param. You can keep hidden field which will have value job_id in subscriberjobs/new html form, which will call your SubscriberjobsController#update method. There access it using params.

In JobController #create

redirect_to "/subscriberjobs/new?job_id=#{@job.id}"

In your SubScribeJob form

hidden_field_tag 'job_id', params[:job_id]

In your SubScribeJobCotroller

@job = Job.find(params[:job_id])

Thanks in advance for the explanation! I somehow get this error: `undefined method `merge' for nil:NilClass` for the form line (`= f.hidden_field 'job_id', params[:job_id]`). Never had that. What is merge? – Gugubaight Sep 11 '16 at 12:16
@Gugubaight, check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6636875/rails-hidden-field-undefined-method-merge-error – dnsh Sep 11 '16 at 12:19
Hmm... I get the right url: `http://localhost:3000/subscriberjobs/new?job_id=2`, but after updating this error appears: `ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in SubscriberjobsController#update Couldn't find Job with 'id'=` and it directs me to this page: `http://localhost:3000/subscriberjobs/1` The value for `is_active` is still `false` – Gugubaight Sep 11 '16 at 12:42
