“undefined method `model_name' for…” error when using nested resources and simple_form, ruby on rails

Question

enter code here I get an "undefined method `model_name' for {:url=>"/possibilities/65/date_events/new"}:Hash" error, when I use simple_form in nested resources.

This is my date_events/new.html.erb:

<%= simple_form_for([@possibility, @dateevent, url: new_possibility_date_event_path]) do |f| %>

I once tried this:

<%= simple_form_for([@possibility, @dateevent]) do |f| %>

I got this error-message:

undefined method `date_events_path' for #<#<Class:0x007ffb4165e138>:0x007ffb42056f78>

Any advices? Thanks in advance!

A possible problem might be, that I have two different nested resources, like this:

  resources :events do
    resources :possibilities
  end

  resources :possibilities do
    resources :date_events
  end

edit: Here is my create action for possibility. It redirects to:

  redirect_to new_possibility_date_event_path(@possibility)

def create
  @possibility = Possibility.new
  @possibility.event_id = params[:event_id]

  if @possibility.save

  else
    render 'new'
  end
  redirect_to new_possibility_date_event_path(@possibility)
end

edit 2: Here is my date_events controller:

  def new
    @dateevent = DateEvent.new
    @datelist = "Test"
    @date = params[:date] ? Date.parse(params[:date]) : Date.today
    @first_calendar_day = @date.beginning_of_month.beginning_of_week(:monday)
    @last_calendar_day = @date.end_of_month.end_of_week(:monday)
    @weeks = (@first_calendar_day..@last_calendar_day).to_a.in_groups_of(7)
  end

  def create
    @possibility = Possibility.find(params[:possibility])
    @datelist = params[:date].split(",")
    @datelist.each do |date|
      params[:date_event][:date] = date
      @dateevent = DateEvent.new(dateevents_params)
      @dateevent.save
    end
    redirect_to kalender_path
  end
end

private

def dateevents_params
  params.require(:date_event).permit(:date)
end

Answer 1

try this:

<%= simple_form_for([@possibility, @dateevent], url: new_possibility_date_event_path(@possibility)) do |f| %>

or

<%= simple_form_for([@possibility, @dateevent], :url=> "/possibilities/#{@possibility.id}/date_events/new") do |f| %>

Add below line to new action of date_event

@possibility = Possibility.find_by_id(params[:possibility_id])
