My rails form is not being submitted or redirected

My invite form is not being saved. There are no errors. The mailer is not being sent and I am not being redirected to the root path.

Invites Controller:

class InvitesController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @invite = Invite.new
  end

  def create
    @invite = Invite.new(invite_params)
    if @invite.save
      InviteMailer.invite_user(@invite).deliver_now
      flash[:success] = "You have successfully sent an invite"
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      render 'new'
    end
  end

  private

    def invite_params
      params.require(:invite).permit(:email)
    end
end

Invites Model:

class Invite < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
end

Invites new View:

<h1>Invite your friend!</h1>
<%= form_for @invite , :url => userinvite_path do |f| %>
    <%= f.label :email %>
    <%= f.email_field :email %>
    <%= f.submit "Send" %>
<% end %>

Invites Mailer:

class InviteMailer < ApplicationMailer
  def invite_user(invite)
    @invite = invite
    mail to: invite.email, subject: "Invitation to Math-Scientist"
  end
end

Application Mailer:

class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from: '[email protected]'
  layout 'mailer'
end

Mailer View (Text): Hi, You have been invited to join Math-Scientist by your friend. Sign up now: https://math-scientist.herokuapp.com/usersignup Hope you enjoy our product!

Rails.application.routes.draw do

My guess the invite is not being saved because you have a belongs_to :user relationship. Since rails 5 this is by default required. This means that either you have to set the user_id before saving, or specify it is optional.

Do not set it the user-id the form (in a hidden field), because this enables tampering (e.g. someones edits the form before submitting it).

So in your controller you can do something like 

@invite = Invite.new(invite_params)
@invite.user_id = current_user.id 
if @invite.save ...

or, if the user is not really required you could also adapt your model 

belongs_to :user, optional: true
