Country select wrong number of arguments (4 for 0)

[karamosky]

Hello i have been facing some troubles with activeadmin in rails 4.1.8. In fact i think that the problem came from formtastic. It considers my country field as country_select automatically. Is there any solution to force formtastic to disable the country select rendering.
Thank you
Here is where it happen

module ActionView

  module Helpers

    module FormOptionsHelper

      # Return select and option tags for the given object and method, using country_options_for_select to generate the list of option tags.

      def country_select(object, method, priority_countries = nil, options = {}, html_options = {})

        InstanceTag.new(object, method, self, options.delete(:object)).to_country_select_tag(priority_countries, options, html_options)

      end

      # Returns a string of option tags for pretty much any country in the world. Supply a country name as +selected+ to

      # have it marked as the selected option tag. You can also supply an array of countries as +priority_countries+, so

      # that they will be listed above the rest of the (long) list.

      #

I don't understand your question completely.

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

f.input :country, as: :string # or as: :select, collection: a_enumerable_object

If that's not help, please provide more informations. Post your form, post what is renders and write what do you expected to be rendered.

@timoschilling thank you for your reply.
Here is my Profile model schema

create_table "profiles", force: true do |t|
    t.string   "first_name"
    t.string   "last_name"
    t.string   "phone_primary"
    t.string   "phone_secondary"
    t.text     "address"
    t.string   "city"
    t.integer  "user_id"
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
    t.float    "latitude"
    t.float    "longitude"
    t.string   "postal_code"
    t.string "country"
  end

And here is my model class

class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :user
    geocoded_by :full_address
    after_validation :geocode

    def full_address
        [address, postal_code, city, country].compact.join(', ')
    end
end

There is no controller i only used activeadmin for administring my data, i have generated the activeadmin resource for my model and declared permit_params as well but when i tried to edit Profile or create a new one i got the error.

I solved this issue with this gem

gem 'country_select', github: 'stefanpenner/country_select' 

rather than the one proposed by activeadmin generated error.
But i was wondering how to disable automatic processing of my country column as a country_select method. I dont want to use the country select gem at all
I hope you have understood the problem

[timoschilling]

Where do ActiveAdmin proposed a country_select gem?

Now I understand your problem. But this is not a ActiveAdmin problem. The form is generated by Formtastic. What you can do is to write a custom form. Read docs/forms for details.

[karamosky]

yes it was generated in an activeadmin page but you're right the issue came from formtastic. but the use of custom form in activeadmin with f.input :country, as: :string solved the issue.
thank you very much. I owe you a drink ;)

I can't say if it is an ActiveAdmin or a Formtastic error but using a

f.input :country

will throw the above exception. Using as: :string is not really a solution since will change the field to a standard input text field.

I solved using the following and I have my old select back:

f.input :country, as: :select, collection: ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper::COUNTRIES

@coorasse Great solution, I was everywhere to solve this problem. None worked, thank you!

I am only here because a google search with that exact same error was found on my end while attempting to incorporate the country_select gem which had been gemified out of Rails. Didn't work and produces this error. So in case anyone else is here for that reason an adapted version of @coorasse 's worked for me:

= f.select :country, Countries: ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper::COUNTRIES

f.input :country, priority_countries: [], only: ["GB", "US", "CA"]
keep priority_countries as empty if no need priorities.
