Trying to add a new reference to a table, strong params conflict

[slammyde7113]

I added a new table table to my database to hold coupon values but I'm having trouble connecting this new table to my Profiles table. I thought I did everything correctly (creating references to the appropriate tables, changed the permitted values on Profile.create, and updated my schema), but I keep getting this error:

[1] pry(#<ProfilesController>)> Profile.new(profile_params)
ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty: profile
from /home/sdyer/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/actionpack-5.0.1/lib/action_controller/metal/strong_parameters.rb:310:in `require'
[2] pry(#<ProfilesController>)> profile_params
ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty: profile
from /home/sdyer/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/actionpack-5.0.1/lib/action_controller/metal/strong_parameters.rb:310:in `require'

But I'm passing all the right paramters to the create function.

[1] pry(#<ProfilesController>)> params
=> <ActionController::Parameters {"credentials"=>{"email"=>"testA", "password"=>"test", "password_confirmation"=>"test"}, "menu_item"=>{"price"=>"9.99", "name"=>"Pizza", "description"=>"Saucy goodness", "location"=>"200 Blue St, Cat City"}, "coupon_menu"=>{"price"=>"9.99", "name"=>"Pizza", "description"=>"Saucy goodness", "location"=>"200 Blue St, Cat City"}, "controller"=>"profiles", "action"=>"create", "format"=>"json"} permitted: false>

Here are the related files: Profile Model

can you post the ajax/curl request of posting to profiles?

[slammyde7113]

#!/bin/bash
curl --include --request POST http://localhost:4741/profiles \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "credentials": {
    "email": "testA",
    "password": "test",
    "password_confirmation": "test"
  },
  "menu_item": {
    "price": "9.99",
    "name": "Pizza",
    "description": "Saucy goodness",
    "location": "200 Blue St, Cat City"
  },
  "coupon_menu": {
    "price": "9.99",
    "name": "Pizza",
    "description": "Saucy goodness",
    "location": "200 Blue St, Cat City"
  }
}'

actually, wouldn't be easier to just make another column in menu_item for coupon price? then I wouldnt have to make a new table

[slammyde7113]

I'm gonna do that instead
