I'm building a simple blog with comments. There is a Post model and a Comment model. Every interaction between the two works fine except for creating new comments. I'm having an issue in Rails when trying to post a new comment:
wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
Here are the request parameters (from the stack trace):
{"commit"=>"Post My Comment",
"post_id"=>"1",
"authenticity_token"=>"5a7b3ad3dda771d4ef5eb5850018649a8be2af11",
"comment"=>{"name"=>"bj",
"website"=>"asdf.com",
"comment"=>"asdf",
"email"=>"[email protected]"}}
And the full stack trace:

I've narrowed the error down to the save method I'm calling on the Comment Model:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:106:in `save'
app/controllers/comments_controller.rb:39:in `create'
The form in my partial that is generating the error (when I post) is as follows (form_row is a simple helper method I created to create, well, a form row):
<% form_for [post, new_comment] do |f| %>
<%= form_row('Name', f.text_field(:name, :size => 30), 'comment_name') %>
<%= form_row('Email', f.text_field(:email, :size => 30) + content_tag(:span, "*", :class => "required"), 'comment_email') %>
<%= form_row('Website', f.text_field(:website, :size => 30) + content_tag(:span, "*", :class => "required"), 'comment_website') %>
<%= form_row('Comment', f.text_area(:comment, { :rows => 10, :cols => 40 }), 'comment_comment') %>
<%= form_row('', '<span class="sm-text"><span class="required">*</span> Denotes fields that will not be displayed on your comment</span>') %>
<%= form_row('', submit_tag("Post My Comment")) %>
<% end -%>
I suspect the issue is how I'm using form_for, but I've tried every possible combination and incantation, and still can't figure this one out. My Post and Comment Models are as follows:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comments
has_many :tags, :through => :posts_tags
belongs_to :user
validates_presence_of :user_id, :title, :body
validates_numericality_of :user_id
end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :posts
validates_presence_of :post_id, :name, :email, :comment
validates_numericality_of :post_id
end
And finally, the controller code performing the save:
def create
begin
@comment = Comment.new(params[:comment])
@comment.name = 'Anonymous' if @comment.name.nil?
if @comment.save # the error occurs here
...
I'm truly stumped. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
