Hello there, I have a simple :create action in my controller and everytime I try submitting the form with invalid data it redirects to the :index route without showing any error_tag here is my code: controller def new(conn, _params) do changeset = Accounts.change_student(%Student{}) r…

[image] aligredo: UPDATE: I noticed that it also does not insert when the data is valid so it a problem with the DB I think, can you help me with that? Your original issue sounds like the changeset isn’t getting an action set on it; can you post your Accounts.create_student function?

yes, sure. Here you go def create_student(attrs \\ %{}) do %Student{} |> Student.changeset(attrs) |> Repo.insert() end

Can you show us the schema and DB migration as well? One thing that caught my eye was the unusual naming: firstName. Is this aligned with the DB definition? Can you try creating the student from IEx session? iex> Accounts.create_student(%{...})

yes sure, Schema: schema "students" do field :birthdate, :date field :email, :string field :firstName, :string field :gender, :string field :lastName, :string field :password, :string field :uniID, :string field :username, :string timestamps() end Migration: …

[image] aligredo: <%= form_for @changeset, @action, fn f -> %> I’m no expert in Phoenix, but shouldn’t this point to a correct route instead of @action? What’s the value of the @action assign?

Makes sense, but I’m out of ideas then. I’m not sure you’re posting the complete code, since there seems to be some missing parts (like password hashing). Do you happen to have any plugs (auth?) that would redirect the user?
