How to insert data in join table based on HABTM association rails 4

Question

I have created a HABTM association in refinery cms but it returns error like below:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR:  relation "refinery_georgiantoast_restaurant_wines" does not exist
LINE 5:                WHERE a.attrelid = '"refinery_georgiantoast_r...
                                          ^

                     pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), a.attnotnull, a.atttypid, a.atttypmod
                FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
                  ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
               WHERE a.attrelid = '"refinery_georgiantoast_restaurant_wines"'::regclass
                 AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
               ORDER BY a.attnum

/vendor/extensions/georgiantoasts/app/models/refinery/georgiantoast/restaurant.rb

Here is my restaurant.rb model:

module Refinery
  module Georgiantoast
    class Restaurant < Refinery::Core::BaseModel

      validates :title, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true

      belongs_to :avatars, :class_name => '::Refinery::Image'

      has_many :restaurants_wines

      has_many :wines, :through => :restaurants_wines

      # To enable admin searching, add acts_as_indexed on searchable fields, for example:
      #
      #   acts_as_indexed :fields => [:title]

    end
  end
end

/vendor/extensions/georgiantoasts/app/models/refinery/georgiantoast/wine.rb

Here is my wine.rb model:

module Refinery
  module Georgiantoast
    class Wine < Refinery::Core::BaseModel

      validates :title, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true

      belongs_to :avatars, :class_name => '::Refinery::Image'

      has_many :restaurants_wines

      has_many :restaurants, :through => :restaurants_wines

      # To enable admin searching, add acts_as_indexed on searchable fields, for example:
      #
      #   acts_as_indexed :fields => [:title]

    end
  end
end

/vendor/extensions/georgiantoasts/app/models/refinery/georgiantoast/restaurant_wines.rb

Here is my join table model restaurant_wines.rb

module Refinery
  module Georgiantoast
    class RestaurantWine < Refinery::Core::BaseModel

      belongs_to :wine

      belongs_to :restaurant

      # To enable admin searching, add acts_as_indexed on searchable fields, for example:
      #
      #   acts_as_indexed :fields => [:title]

    end
  end
end

/vendor/extensions/georgiantoasts/app/controllers/refinery/georgiantoast/admin/restaurants_controller.rb

Here is restaurants_controller.rb controller:

module Refinery
  module Georgiantoast
    module Admin
      class RestaurantsController < ::Refinery::AdminController

        crudify :'refinery/georgiantoast/restaurant'

        private

        # Only allow a trusted parameter "white list" through.
        def restaurant_params
          params.require(:restaurant).permit(:title, :description, :address, :town, :state, :lat, :lng, :avatars_id, :wine_ids => [])
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

/vendor/extensions/georgiantoasts/app/views/refinery/georgiantoast/admin/restaurants/_form.html.erb

Here is Restaurant _form.html.erb form:

<%= form_for [refinery, :georgiantoast_admin, @restaurant] do |f| -%>
    <%= render '/refinery/admin/error_messages',
               :object => @restaurant,
               :include_object_name => true %>

    <div class='field'>
      <%= f.label :title -%>
      <%= f.text_field :title, :class => 'larger widest' -%>
    </div>

    <div class='field'>
      <%= render '/refinery/admin/wysiwyg',
                 :f => f,
                 :fields => [:description],
                 :object => "georgiantoast/restaurant" -%>
    </div>

    <div class='field'>
      <%= f.label :address -%>
      <%= f.text_field :address -%>
    </div>

    <div class='field'>
      <%= f.label :wine -%>
      <%= select_tag "#{f.object_name}[wine_ids][]", options_for_select(Refinery::Georgiantoast::Wine.all.collect { |wine| [wine.title, wine.id] }), {multiple: true} -%>
    </div>


    <%= render '/refinery/admin/form_actions', :f => f,
               :continue_editing => false,
               :delete_title => t('delete', :scope => 'refinery.restaurants.admin.restaurants.restaurant'),
               :delete_confirmation => t('message', :scope => 'refinery.admin.delete', :title => @restaurant.title) -%>
<% end -%>

Here is the migration file:

class CreateJoinTableRestaurantsWines < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_join_table :restaurants, :wines do |t|
      t.index :restaurant_id
      t.index :wine_id
    end
  end
end

When I post my form it didn't perform any action of invoking join table.

If I try to run below command on rails console it returns me below error:

All migrations has ran, no migration or seed is pending too.

Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but I came across something I think is similar, so I will leave my answer in case it helps someone.

I believe that on your migration for the join table, you are creating a restaurants_wines table, but refinery is expecting it to be called refinery_restaurants_wine, or, as it seems from your error, refinery_georgiantoast_restaurants_wine. Changing it to

class CreateJoinTableRestaurantsWines < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_join_table :restaurants, :wines, table_name: "refinery_georgiantoast_restaurants_wine" do |t|
      t.index :restaurant_id
      t.index :wine_id
    end
  end
end

should do the trick.

Answer 2

You appear to have a typo in the Wine and Restaurant classes. The relationship should be through restaurant_wines rather than restaurants_wines (so only "wine" should be plural).

You need to add wine_id and restaurant_id columns to the join table if you haven't done so already. Once they're there, you should be

Answer 3

If you use form_for you can use this bellow in your view app/views/restaurants/_form

 <%= f.collection_select :wine_ids, @wines, :id, :name, {}, {:multiple => true} %>

Don't forget this in your controller

 params.require(:restaurant).permit(:name, :wine_ids => [])
