Mass Assigment in simple assossiation

I posted a questionnot long ago, yet I still cannot get pass this simple
issue.

Begginer Running rails 3.2.2, Ruby 1.8.7

I have 2 models, a Hotel (created by scaffolding) and Facility (with
empty controller). I am able to set the 1-to-1 association and siplaying
fields but can’t seem to insert it in the databases. Im getting:

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in HotelsController#create
Can’t mass-assign protected attributes: @hotel
app/controllers/hotels_controller.rb:48:in ‘new’
app/controllers/hotels_controller.rb:48:in ‘create’
–> My models are:

class Hotel < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :facility, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :facility, :allow_destroy => true
attr_accessible :name, :rating, :recommended, :facility_attributes
end

class Facility < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :hotel
attr_accessible :concierge, :hotel_id, :room24h
end
My facility controller, as I said, is empty (it can be, right? since im
associating with Hotel?) My hotel_controller is the default after
creating scaffolding, only with 1 added line:

def new
@hotel = Hotel.new
@hotel.build_facility #–>I added this only, I searched and all i
found was this

respond_to do |format|
  format.html # new.html.erb
  format.json { render :json => @hotel }
end

end

def create
@hotel = Hotel.new(params[:hotel])

respond_to do |format|
  if @hotel.save
    format.html { redirect_to @hotel, :notice => 'Hotel was

successfully created.’ }
format.json { render :json => @hotel, :status => :created,
:location => @hotel }
else
format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.json { render :json => @hotel.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Finaly, my form html is:

<%= form_for(@hotel) do |f| %>

<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :rating %>
<%= f.number_field :rating %>
<%= f.label :recommended %>
<%= f.check_box :recommended %>

<h2>Hotel Facilities</h2>

<%= f.fields_for :@hotel do |facility_fields| %>
<%= facility_fields.label :room24h, "24h Room Service:" %> <%= facility_fields.check_box :room24h %>
<%= facility_fields.label "Concierge:" %> <%= facility_fields.check_box :concierge %>
<%end%>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %> The error I am getting when creating is at beggining of question. Should I be adding more code do the hotel_controller? What could it be? Also, the facility_controller can be empty right? I mean, I'm adding all the data from the hotel_controller.

Thanks in advance and sorry, im new at RoR :frowning:

The problem lies here I think, it should possibly be fields_for
:facility do …

<%= f.submit %>

Apologies for the new thread.

It now shows up in the form, the problem now is when I submit, it gives
out an error.
If i change to what you suggested, the same error apears, but for the
@facility

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in HotelsController#create

Can’t mass-assign protected attributes: @facility
app/controllers/hotels_controller.rb:60:in new' app/controllers/hotels_controller.rb:60:increate’

As for the code, I even tried to do this on the hotel_controller:
def new
@hotel = Hotel.new
@facility = @hotel.build_facility
end

def create

@hotel = Hotel.new(params[:hotel]).Facility.new(params[:facility])
@hotel.save

end

But with no success, still mass-assignement error

I thank you for your time to help me.

Problem solved. To anyone who has the same issue, added to the new
controller:

@[email protected]_facility

And in the nested form, the correct syntax is:
<%= f.fields_for :facility do |fc|%>

Instead of … :@facility do …

Thank you Colin L. for the help.
