Issue: I am receiving error (listed below) when i try to save form data from one controller to another.

StripeAccount(#473341532384680) expected, got "acct_7424613FLPIHiXZ"
which is an instance of String(#47334237953540)

Question: What in my code is creating the error?

I have form input that works but I want to take some of the data from it and append it elsewhere to a separate controller.

The form is for users and stripe_account controller. I want to take the acct.id from the stripe_account and also save it in the @user table under stripe_account.

User Model:

  has_one :stripe_account

Stripe_account Model:

  belongs_to :users

Controller Stripe_account:

 def new

        @stripe_account = StripeAccount.new

        @user = User.find(params[:user_id])



      end



    def create



        @stripe_account = StripeAccount.new(stripe_account_params)

        @user = User.find(params[:user_id])

        @stripe_account.user_id = current_user.id

          acct = Stripe::Account.create({

.....

.....

    @stripe_account.acct_id = acct.id

#below is what isn't working

    @user.stripe_account = acct.id



  respond_to do |format|

      if @stripe_account.save!

        format.html { redirect_to new_bank_account_path, notice: 'Stripe account was successfully created.' }

        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @stripe_account }





      else

        format.html { render :new }

        format.json { render json: @stripe_account.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }

      end

    end

  end

View:

  <%= form_for ([@user, @stripe_account]) do | f | %>

Routes:

resources :users do

    resources :stripe_accounts

  end

but got the error: StripeAccount(#473341532384680) expected, got "acct_7424613FLPIHiXZ" which is an instance of String(#47334237953540)

... In the Users schema, I have "stripe_account" set as a string.

I tried

acct_id = current_user.stripe_account

and other iterations of this. I am assuming the issue is in my model so i tried:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :stripe_account
but the same error appeared.

Incase anyone comes across this. I had issues recording data from form to 2 controllers tables.

This is what i did to fix it (thanks to a stackO user) @arieljuod

replacing:

  # @stripe_account = StripeAccount.new(stripe_account_params)

    # @user = User.find(params[:user_id])

    # @stripe_account.user_id = current_user.id

with:

    @user = User.find(params[:user_id])

    @stripe_account = @user.build_stripe_account(stripe_account_params)



//and then saving from this://

    if @stripe_account.save!

//to this://

    if @stripe_account.save! && @user.save
