I changed my table "companies", to "projects" and went through and updated all the references to company/companies.  Everything is working fine, except I am again getting that same validation error when I try to create a new task on the projects/4/tasks/new.  It's not getting the project_id and therefore the validation is failing.  If I hard code the params[:project_id] with the actual number of the project, it creates fine.  

I tried all the same things we did yesterday and the day before, to no avail.  


**********Here's the error message:

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in TasksController#create

Validation failed: Project can't be blank

************Here's the controller


class TasksController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authorize
 
  def index
    @tasks = Task.order("due_date ASC")
  end

  def new
    @task = Task.new
  end

  def create
    @task = current_user.tasks.new(params[:task])
    #puts "PARAMS ::::: #{params.inspect}" #this allows us to see the output when running the create action.
    @task.project_id = params[:project_id]#by changing the top line from "create" to "new", this allows us to pass in the project_id when this action is being done, before we save it.
    #puts "TASK ::::: #{@task.inspect}"

  	if @task.save!
      flash[:success] = "Your task has been created!"
  		redirect_to projects_path
  	else
  	   render 'new'
  	end
  end

  def show
  	@task = Task.find(params[:id])

  	respond_to do |format|
      format.html # show.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @task }
  end
end

  def edit
  	@task = Task.find(params[:id])
    session[:return_to] = request.referer #this stores the requesting url (where you clicked "edit") in a session hash, which is available across multiple requests.  Now you can use it in the Update action.
  end

  def update
  	@task = Task.find(params[:id])
    
    if @task.update_attributes params[:task]
    redirect_to session[:return_to] #this redirects to the requesting URL, as per the Edit action where this was initially stored.
    flash[:success] = "Task was successfully updated."
    
    else
      redirect_to :back
    end
  end

  def destroy
  	@task = Task.find(params[:id])
    @user = @task.user_id
  	@task.destroy
  	
  	flash[:success] = "The task has been deleted."
    redirect_to user_path(current_user)
  end
end



*************Here's the 3 models:

class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :content, :due_date
  
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :project

  validates :content, presence: true
  validates :user_id, presence: true
  validates :project_id, presence: true

  #accepts_nested_attributes_for :user, :project

end


class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name, :users_attributes

  has_many :tasks, dependent: :destroy
  belongs_to :user

  validates :name, presence: true

  accepts_nested_attributes_for :user, :tasks
end



class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_secure_password

  attr_accessible :name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :project_id
  
  has_many :tasks, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :projects

  validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
  VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
  validates :email, presence:   true,
                    format:     { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
                    uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }
  validates :password, length: { minimum: 6 }
  #below not needed anymore, due to has_secure_password
  #validates :password_confirmation, presence: true  
end
