Validations not working - model mixup?

Rails
1

Hi there,

I’ve got a list of games, and users can guess the score of each game.
The guesses are appropriately sent to guesses_controller.rb, but I can’t
get any of the validations in guess.rb to work. Here’s what I have in
the view:

<%= error_messages_for :guess %>

<% @games.each do |game| %>

<%= game.home_team.city %> <%= game.away_team.city %> <% end %> Save your predictions

My model has this:

validates_numericality_of :home_score, :away_score

Is it because the guesses are called home_score_x and away_score_x?

Why aren’t you using the Rails helpers for your text fields?

Can be done as: <%= text_field “guess”, “away_score_#{game.id}” %> and
the
other one like wise.

I would like to see your controller code before I can say anything more
(especially the part where you create the guess)

Here’s the relevant controller code:

guesses_controller.rb:

def create
params.keys.select {|k| /home_score/.match(k)}.each do
|homescore_key|
game_id = homescore_key.scan(/\d+/).first.to_i
homescore_val = params[homescore_key]
visitingscore_key = “away_score_#{game_id}”
visitingscore_val = params[visitingscore_key]
guess = Guess.new(:game_id => game_id, :home_score =>
homescore_val, :away_score => visitingscore_val)
guess.save
end
…
end
