Getting ForbiddenAttributesError while passing an array of values

Question

I'm having issues with Rails 4 Strong Parameters. The thing is I try to pass some parameters that look like this and it raises a ForbiddenAttributesError exception afterwards:

"survey_answer"=>{"a1"=>"answer_1",
 "a2"=>"answer_1",
 "a3"=>"answer_3",
 "a4"=>["test1",
 "test2",
 "test3"],
 "a7"=>"answer_7",
 "name"=>"Test name",
 "industry"=>"Test industry",
 "email"=>"[email protected]"}}

As you can see, a4 comes from a check box that yields an array of values. My proposed solution to this point is this:

params.require(:survey_answer).permit(:a1, :a2, :a3, :a7, :name, :email, :industry, :a4 => [], :a5, :a6)

Unfortunately no matter how I refactor I still get to the same point.

Did you try this ? stackoverflow.com/questions/17879356/…

Try this.

params.require(:survey_answer).permit(:a1, :a2, :a3, :a7, :name, :email, :industry, {:a4 => []}, :a5, :a6)

try this it worked for me

params.require(:survey_answer).permit(:a1, :a2, :a3, :a7, :name, :email, :industry, :a5, :a6, a4: [])

just shift your array type argument at the end. I hope this will work.
