ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)):

Hi folks:

In my create action I´m getting this messagge:

ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)):

What does this means? Do i´m passing more or less parameters than
needed?
Any guidance would be very appreciated

I´m using a form with 3 models, including a model to attach images
with Paperclip

The create action is pretty standard:

def create
@property = Property.new (:property)
end

These are the parameter:

I suspect the line raising that is somewhere inside active record.
Assuming Property is an ActiveRecord method it’s expecting a hash to
be passed ( eg params[:property] ) but you’re just passing the symbol
property.

Thanks Frederick:

Sorry I mistyped the method definition, the correct is:

def create
@property = Property.new (params[:property])
end

Given that I had the error mentioned.

Any thoughts?

Not without a stack trace (ruby should warn you that you should write
Property.new(params[:property]) but I don’t think that would change
much).

Fred

Did you pick a method name that Rails is already using by any chance?

Well I think that´s a possibility, but how could I check that?

That to me looks like your code actually reads params(:property)
rather than params[:property]

This is what I have:

Ok. Solved
The problem was that I put a white space between params and the
brackets as: params [:property] instead of params[:property].
Thanks Fred and khiltd.
