ArgumentError - When assigning attributes, you must pass a hash as an argument.:

On resource update I get this:

ArgumentError - When assigning attributes, you must pass a hash as an argument.:

My controller:

class PostsController < InheritedResources::Base
  #...
  def update
    update! do |format|
      format.html { render :index }
      format.json { respond_with_bip(@post) }
    end
  end
  #...
end

I tracked it down to this code:

def update_resource(object, attributes)
   object.update_attributes(*attributes)
end

If I remove the star object.update_attributes(attributes) everything is fine. I don't understand what's wrong here? Is this a bug? Am I using it wrong?
Anyone else getting this?

@MichaelSp I'm seeing this too. Did you figure out what was going on?

[MichaelSp]

I still have no idea. But I have a work-around. Add this to your (Application-) Controller:

def update_resource(object, attributes)
   object.update_attributes(attributes)
end

Ah, the fix is to rename the resource_parms method to permitted_parms make it return a hash instead. Check this out: #236
