Ruby on Rails - Form not populating from hash - Only in heroku, works fine on local/dev environment

Question

Continuing on my saga to create a polymorphic object called address which has a one to many relationship with accounts and contacts (and in the future for others objects).

Ruby Polymorphic association working locally but not in heroku

The show account view should send parameters to new_address with the polymorphic data(addressable_id,addressable_type) which in this case is the account_id and the account controller.

The show account have the following link to create new address:

<%= link_to new_address_path(:controller => "addresses", :action => "new", :addressable_type => :account, :addressable_id => @accounts.id, ) do %>
<%= (image_tag("address_new.png", :width => "70%")) %>
<br /> New Address
<% end %>

And after forwarding the url shows:

http://vulcanosys.herokuapp.com/addresses/new?addressable_id=1&addressable_type=accounts

The form fields were hidden, so first of all I thought it was a problem in the create action, but after setting fields visible, I can see that the issue is that heroku is not populating the form with the parameter on hash.

While in the localhost it loads perfectly and the urls also shows:

    http://localhost:3000/addresses/new?addressable_id=1&addressable_type=accounts

the addresses/new.html.erb is the following

    <div id="central">
<div id="limiter">
    <h1><%= (image_tag("address_new.png", :width => "20%", :align =>"middle")) %> New Address</h1>
    <h4>Please insert Account data:</h4>
    <%= form_for @addresses, url: {action: "create"} do |f| %>
<table class="tshow" align="left" style="width:100%;">
    <col width="50%">
    <col width="50%">
        <%= f.text_field :addressable_type %>
        <%= f.text_field :addressable_id %>
<tr class="even">
        <td><%= f.label :no, "No:" %>*</td>
        <td><%= f.text_field :no %></td>
    </tr>
        <tr class="odd">
        <td><%= f.label :street, "Street:" %>*</td>
        <td><%= f.text_field :street %></td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="even">
        <td><%= f.label :suburb, "Suburb" %>*</td>
        <td><%= f.text_field :suburb %></td>
    </tr>
            <tr class="odd">
        <td><%= f.label :code, "Zip:" %>*</td>
        <td><%= f.text_field :code %></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<ul class="menu">
    <!-- Access Check - Create New Account -->
    <% if Accessrule.find_by(role_id: current_user.role_id, workspace:2).try(:canwrite?) %>
    <li><%= f.submit " ", :type => :image, :src => image_path("address_save.png"), :width =>"60%" %>
    <br /> <%= f.submit "Save Address", class: "savetext" %><% end %></li>
    <% end %>
    <!-- back Accounts -->
    <li> <%= link_to :back do  %>
    <%= (image_tag("address_back.png", :width => "60%")) %>
    <br /> Back
    <% end %> 
    </li>
    </li>
    </ul>

I'm struggling for a week on this, dont know what to do, I'm even thinking about hard code the polymorphic association.

Answer 1

I solved the above issue performing the following steps:

Applied nested routes to the polymorphic model address with shallow, which ignores the association for edit, update and delete action.

    shallow do
       resources :accounts do
           resources :addresses
       end
    end

    shallow do
       resources :contacts do
          resources :addresses
       end
    end

I also have changed some settings while application is not fully in production.

Config.application.enviroment.production

    config.assets.digest = true
    config.eager_load = false
