I have an Angular application that sends http requests to a rails server. I'd like to make a request to create a record (in the table SavedQueries).
The Angular app is actually making a very simple http request right now, like
$.post('http://10.241.16.159:3000/api/save_query', {'saved_query':1});
That javascript request gets routed to this Rails action:
def create
@saved_query = SavedQuery.new(params[:saved_query])
if @saved_query.save
render json: @saved_query, status: :created, location: @saved_query
else
render json: @saved_query.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
end
end
However, instead of returning the appropriate json, the rails server logs a 500 error:
Started POST "/api/save_query" for 172.25.82.146 at 2014-07-31 19:14:06 +0000
Processing by SavedQueriesController#create as */*
Parameters: {"saved_query"=>"1"}
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 0ms
ArgumentError (When assigning attributes, you must pass a hash as an argument.):
app/controllers/saved_queries_controller.rb:21:in `create'
So my question is, clearly by looking at the logs from the Rails server, we can see that the params passed was a hash, but the ArgumentError thrown says that the problem was that a hash must be passed as an argument.
What am I missing here?
