ruby on rails - ActionController::ParameterMissing at /accounts/deposit tieing params to deposit form -

i have been working on rails 4 project since yesterday @ 3pm , have not slept. out of ideas why bombing out. error message : actioncontroller::parametermissing @ /accounts/deposit param missing or value empty: affiliates_account

my accounts_controller looks this:

class accountscontroller < applicationcontroller #before_action :set_account, only: [:show, :edit, :deposit, :credit,      :update, :destroy] before_filter :set_account, only: [:show, :edit, :credit, :update, :destroy] before_filter :authenticate_user!  respond_to :html  def index  # @accounts = account.all  #@accounts = account.where(id:current_user.id)  if current_user.admin?   @accounts = account.all   else    @accounts = account.where(email:current_user.email)   end   respond_with(@accounts)   end    def show   if current_user.admin?     @accounts = account.all    else    @accounts = account.where(email:current_user.email)   end   respond_with(@account)   end    def new      @account = account.new      respond_with(@account)   end    def edit     @accounts = account.all   end    def create     #  @account = account.new(account_params)     #@account.save     # respond_with(@account)   end    def update     @account.update(account_params)     respond_with(@account)   end    def destroy      @account.destroy      respond_with(@account)   end    def withdrawl     @account = account.new(account_params)     @account.email = current_user.email     @account.user_id = current_user.id   end    def deposit     @account = account.new(account_params)     @account.email = current_user.email     @account.user_id = current_user.id     respond_to |format|     @account.save    end      redirect_to :root    end         private      def set_account         #@accounts = account.where(id:current_user.id)         @account = account.find(params[:id])      end       def account_params        # params[:account]        params.require(:account).permit(:created_at, :email, :credit, :debit,        :acctbal, :depotype)      end      end 

and model accounts.rb

 class account < activerecord::base  belongs_to :user  validates :depotype, presence: true  deposit_types = [ "check", "credit card", "purchase order" ]  validates :depotype, inclusion: deposit_types   def final_acct_bal     accounts.to_a.sum {|account| account.final_acct_price}    end  end 

and created new deposit.html.erb because new.html.erb kept giving me weird error , mention create method tied , should create seperate form page. did , im having tough time linking deposit action method page "add funds" button on index.html.erb go it. , perform requested actions accordingly.

<h1>editing account</h1>  <%= render 'form' %>  <%= link_to 'show', @account %> | <%= link_to 'back', accounts_path %> 

my index.html.erb link_to button

<div class="container"> <h1>listing accounts inquiries</h1>  <h2>your account information</h2>   <table border="3">     <table class="table table-striped">         <thead>             <tr>                 <th>date</th>                 <th>credit</th>                 <th>debit</th>                 <th>account balance</th>             </tr>     </thead>         <tbody>                    <% @accounts.each |account| %>                    <tr>                     <td><%= account.created_at %></td>                     <td><b><font color="green"><%=                          number_to_currency(account.credit)%></b></td>                           <td><b><font color="red"><%=                           number_to_currency(account.debit)%></font></b></td>                         <td><b><%= number_to_currency(account.acctbal)%></b>                </td>                         </tr>                  <% end %>             <tbody>              </table>     </table>      <%= link_to "add funds", deposit_accounts_path, method: :post, :class =>        "btn btn-primary btn-sm" %>      <table>     <thead>   <tr>   <th colspan="3"></th>   </tr>   </thead>      <% if can? :manage, users%>      <tbody>        <% @accounts.each |account| %>       <tr>     <td><%= link_to 'show', account %></td>     <td><%= link_to 'edit', edit_account_path(account) %></td>     <td><%= link_to 'destroy', account, method: :delete, data: { confirm:          'are sure?' } %></td>        </tr>     <% end %>   </tbody>   </table>    <br>     </div>   <% end %> 

i think part of params hosing up, params.require(:account) dont know change works , nothing else breaks

here parameter log

my routes

rails.application.routes.draw   devise_for :users 'admin' => 'admin#index' 'users/index' 'accounts/index'  'accounts/show'  resources :students  root 'store#index', as: 'store'    resources :orders   resources :line_items   resources :carts   'store/index'   resources :menus  resources :users   resources :accounts    collection     post 'deposit', :action => :deposit     post 'withdrawl', :action => :withdrawl    end  end 

is correctly posted in question?

#before_action :set_account, only: [:show, :edit, :deposit, :credit,      :update, :destroy] before_filter :set_account, only: [:show, :edit, :credit, :update,     :destroy] before_filter :authenticate_user! 

first before_action commented , having :deposit

you should replace before_filter before_action rails 4, though before_action works,

before_action :set_account, only: [:show, :edit, :deposit, :credit, :update, :destroy] 

your deposit method needs @account, :set_account needs added in before_action
