what's wrong?

Answer 1

Change belongs_to :user to belongs_to :user, optional: true. Rails 5 has introduced default validation in associations. Refer this link for better understanding

Answer 2

in method create in controller need to add @task.user_id = current_user.id

Answer 3

Be aware, that Task is not good name for model according to https://reservedwords.herokuapp.com/words/task?q[word_or_notes_cont]=task

In Rails there is not full list of reserved words because of the nature of the language and framework. But sometimes you can face strange behaviour, when you use conflicting keyword.

Answer 4

You have missing user_id for creating task

Try to the following

On your code

def create
  @task = Task.new(task_params)

  respond_to do |format|
    if @task.save
      format.html { redirect_to @task, notice: 'Task was successfully created.' }
      format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @task }
    else
      format.html { render :new }
      format.json { render json: @task.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    end
  end
end

Modified from your code, you can use that

def create
  @task = Task.new(task_params)
  @task.user = current_user

  respond_to do |format|
    if @task.save
      format.html { redirect_to @task, notice: 'Task was successfully created.' }
      format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @task }
    else
      format.html { render :new }
      format.json { render json: @task.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    end
  end
end

Hope to help
