undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass on select_collection

Hi,

I have been struggling with this error for the last 3 hours and its s bit frustrating: Here is the scenario

I am trying to populate a select box with Team names that belong to a specific team leader here are my models and code

user.rb
belongs_to :team
  has_many  :attendances, dependent: :destroy
  belongs_to :team_leader, class_name: "User"
  has_many :agents, class_name: "User",
                    foreign_key: "team_leader_id"

team.rb
class Team < ActiveRecord::Base

  validates :team_code, :description, presence: true
  validates :team_code, uniqueness: true

  has_and_belongs_to_many :users
  has_many :attendance_sheets
end


attendance_sheet/new

<div class="field">
            <%= f.label :Team %><br>
            <%= f.collection_select(:team_id, @team, :id, :team_code) %>
          </div>

the other partial with the user, _attendance_fields.html.erb

<div class="nested-fields">
    <tr>
       <td><%= f.collection_select(:user_id, @users, :id, :name ) %></td>
       <td><%= f.check_box :present%></td>
       <td><%= f.select :reason, ["a","b"] %></td>
       <td><%= link_to_remove_association "Remove attendance", f, class: "form-button btn btn-default" %></td>
    </tr>
</div>

whenever i try to create an attendance sheet i the undefined method map error for both the partial and main form. I want to be able to see on teams that belong the user logged and also only the users belonging to the team/logged team_leader

I am not sure if my self join table is well done either

appreciated

Your first collection_select for @team, is that variable an array? Only arrays (or enumerable objects) have a map method. The map method is called internally inside the collection_select, so if that happens to be just a team record, then that could be the problem.

You'll either want to make that variable an array or adjust that accordingly to how you want it to work I think.

Hi Chris,

the first part @team is an array the Teams assigned to a specific Team leader

Hmm, well then it isn't as easy of a solution. ;) Which line of the view is it tripping on then? What's your stacktrace look like?
