Could somebody help me to figure out why it is not working?So what is the story: there is a rails 7 (7.1.3) blog app with a ransack version 4.1.1
In the search form, I need to search text by the post title and by the post bodyand I get this error
undefined method `type' for nil:NilClass
in the params I can see this
Parameters:
{"q"=>{"title_or_body_cont"=>"should"}, "commit"=>"Search"}
When I am trying to search only with a title like title_cont everything is ok, but when searching with body_cont or title_or_body_cont get the mentioned error. I think that is because the Post model does not have a body field and this field is in the action_text_rich_texts table. And after adding an association on the action_text_rich_texts table in the Post model I still have the mentioned error. I would appreciate for your help.
and my code
class Post < ApplicationRecord has_rich_text :body has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy belongs_to :user has_one_attached :post_image validates :title, presence: { message: 'must be given please' }, length: { minimum: 5 } validates :body, presence: true, length: { minimum: 10 } validate :post_body_length validate :acceptable_image def self.ransackable_attributes(_auth_object = nil) %w[title body created_at updated_at user_id] end def self.ransackable_associations(_auth_object = nil) %w[users action_text_rich_texts] end private def acceptable_image return unless post_image.attached? errors.add(:post_image, 'is too big') unless post_image.blob.byte_size <= 5.megabyte acceptable_types = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png'] return if acceptable_types.include?(post_image.content_type) errors.add(:post_image, 'must be a JPEG or PNG') end def post_body_cant_be_empty if self.body.blank? self.errors.add(:body, "can't be empty") end end def post_body_length if self.body.to_plain_text.length < 10 self.errors.add(:body, 'is too short (minimum is 10 characters)') end endend
also, there is a searches_controller
class SearchesController < ApplicationController def index @query = Post.ransack(params[:q]) @posts = @query.result.includes(:rich_text_body) endend
and a search_form
<%= search_form_for @query, url: searches_path, method: :get, html: { class: "d-flex", role: "search" } do |f| %><%= f.search_field :title_or_body_cont, class: "form-control me-2", placeholder: "Search title or body..." %><%= f.submit "Search", class: "btn btn-outline-secondary-light btn-sm" %><% end %>
