DataMapper save fails but with no errors
- by Justin Bozonier
When I try to modify and then save a model using DataMapper I get a SaveFailure exception but no errors.
Specifically I see this message:
"MonthlyBill#save returned false, MonthlyBill was not saved"
This is the code doing the saving:
post '/monthly_bills' do
with_authenticated_user do |user|
description = params[:description]
expected_amount = params[:expected_amount]
pay_period = params[:pay_period]
monthly_bill = MonthlyBill.new(:description=>description, :expected_amount=>expected_amount, :pay_period=>pay_period)
user.MonthlyBills << monthly_bill
user.save
end
The User model:
class User
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :email_address, String
property :password, String
has n, :MonthlyBills
has 1, :CurrentPayPeriod
end
The MonthlyBill model:
class MonthlyBill
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :description, String
property :expected_amount,Decimal
property :pay_period, Integer
belongs_to :user
end
What is the issue and, more importantly, how can I get DataMapper to tell me more specifically what is wrong?
