Save method (create action) saves twice

Rails
1

Rails 3.1.3

I have changed a regular scaffold action a bit so that it can save using
ajax.
All I needed to do was adding “:remote => true” in

<%= form_for script, :remote => true do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :video_id %> <%= f.text_field :text %> <%= f.submit "save" %> <% end %>

then even though the whole page does not change itself, I can see the
data saved by reloading the page. Namely, the data is in fact saved in
the database ( Eventually I will modify it so that it will reflect in
the page using javascript + ajax).

But the problem is that a single ‘save’ action (clicking the “save”
button) seems to save the same data twice. Why is that???

After executing the saving method, the following messages appear
consecutively in the command console where the rails server is up. They
seem similar to each other, but two separate SQL actions.

To be honest, I have no idea which part of my code to show you in order
to gain some help to resolve this because I have not changed much from
the regular scaffold generation.

But this is the create action in scripts_controller.rb. It is to throw
json data so that Ajax will catch it.

def create
@script = Script.new(params[:script])
respond_to do |format|
if @script.save
format.json { render json: @script, status: :created, location:
@script }
else
format.html { render action: “new” }
format.json { render json: @script.errors, status:
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

And script.rb

class Script < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :video
has_many :users
end

If the information I provide is not enough, please indicate which part
of my code is ought be disclosed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Maybe your Ajax Request is being submitted twice.

Thanks! You were right.
My app was reading a JavaScript Library TWICE…
