Form_for with :multipart => true spits out

Question

I am trying to add an Avatar Upload field to my Profile Page, but as soon as I add the :html => {:multipart => true} to it, it spits out an syntax error.

<%= form_for(@user), :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>

<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.email_field :email %>

<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>

<%= f.label :password_confirmation, "Confirmation" %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>


<%= f.label :avatar %>
    <%= f.file_field :avatar %>

    <%= f.submit "Save changes", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>

The error is:

syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting keyword_end
...end=  form_for(@user), :html => { :multipart => true } do |f...
...                               ^

Answer 1

It should be like this:

form_for @user, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f|

The parenthesis in form_for(@user) is actually telling Ruby interpreter the function is invoked with only one parameter, and you can't pass wrong number of arguments in a method in Ruby.
