rails 6: no implicit conversion of String into Integer

Question

I've been trying to learn ruby(2.6.3) on rails(6.0.1) by following a project to make an Instagram clone. When I try to create a new post I get "no implicit conversion of String into Integer app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:8:in `create' ". I'm confused because I do not see a string to int so i'm wondering if it is something i'm missing with ruby. I've tried updating my gem versions and also tried adding the "strong_parameters" gem but that did not seem to fix my problem. Thank you for any insight as to what i'm doing wrong

Post_controller.rb

class PostsController < ApplicationController

def new
 @post = Post.new
end

def create
 @post = Post.new(post_params)

if @post.save
  redirect_to dashboard_path, flash: {success: "Post was created successfully!"}
else
  redirect_to new_post_path, flash: {danger: "Post failed to save!"}
 end
end

def show
end

private

def post_params
  params.require(:post).permit(:image, :image_cache)
end
end

Posts table migrate

class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
def change
create_table :posts do |t|
  t.string :image
  t.boolean :active
  t.references :account
  t.timestamps
  end
end
end

Post Model

class Post < ApplicationRecord
  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
end

Post table schema

create_table "posts", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "image"
t.boolean "active"
t.bigint "account_id"
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.index ["account_id"], name: "index_posts_on_account_id"
end

Answer 1

almost always when I see this, it is passing a string into the index of an array. Sorry to be vague, but I don't see where that would happen in your code.
