Update error rails (stack level too deep)

Question

I'm facing a error in rails while updanting a attribute accepted. accepted is a boolean type coloumn.

This is the code:

 def response
if params[:response]
  @invite = Invite.find_by(invited: '2')
  @invite.update(accepted: params[:response])
  render nothing: true
end
end

The trace (sorry for image):

enter image description here The error is Stack level is too deep

The code you posted looks correct. Post the entire stacktrace, including the error and the error line, and the code gist that generated that error. — Simone Carletti
There might be a problem in one of your callbacks, but as @SimoneCarletti has already said we cannot be certain unless we see the stack trace. You can copy it from your rails server logs and paste it here. — Aravind
@Igor, any update? Did changing the action name solve the problem? And please update your post with some more information. — Sharvy Ahmed
@SharvyAhmed ...edited with the trace...the error only show this message, witthout lines... — Igor Martins

I guess when you are calling update action and passing params[:response], somehow it's invoking response action and falling into an infinite loop, which is raising 'stack level too deep' error.

Change response to update_response or something else to fix the problem.

def update_response
  if params[:response]
    @invite = Invite.find_by(invited: '2')
    @invite.update(accepted: params[:response])
    render nothing: true
  end
end

I'll update this answer as soon as I find any explanation.
