Hello I'm creating an online retail store.
I have a Category model and a Sizes model. They are nested in a form. When I create a Category I also create sizes for that category.
Right now I can create a Category and sizes. However I can't update the sizes in the nested form.
So click edit category and change the name of one size then click update. I get the below error. On screen it just says "has already been taken".
How do I update sizes through this nested form? /Users/Documents/Safsy/Website/Safsy/Safsy/app/controllers/categories_controller.rb @ line 40 CategoriesController#update:
39: def update
=> 40: binding.pry
41: if @category.update(category_params)
42: redirect_to @category
43: flash[:success] = 'Category was successfully updated.'
44: else
45: render "edit"
46: end
47: end
[1] pry(#<CategoriesController>)>
