Action update in towerjs controller does not work

Question

I'll try create a controler in towerjs, but I have an error while updating action:

TypeError: Property 'id' of object #<Object> is not a function

Here how looks my action:

update: ->
  App.User.find @params.id (error, user) =>
    user.updateAttributes @params.user, (error) =>
      if error
        @render "edit", locals: user: user
      else
        @render "show", locals: user: user

Console shows me that id parameters is passed:

Parameters:
{ user: 
  { name: 'admin',
    email: 'example@domain.com',
    password: '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3' },
  id: '4faa6c614b2ce49b34000001',
  action: 'update',
  format: 'html' }

more info: The identical actions are built in show, edit, destroy and they are working. All actions uses the same _form partial.

This code:

f @params.id (a, b) => ...

is equivalent to this:

f(@params.id((a,b) => ...))

so you're trying to call @params.id as a function and passing your (error,user) => function to @params.id as its argument. I think you want to pass @params.id and (error,user) => to App.user.find as two arguments so add a comma:

update: ->
  App.User.find @params.id, (error, user) =>
    #---------------------^

@MarcinRobak: Asking for help isn't embarrassing, banging your head against the wall because you've been staring at something too long to see the obvious and you *don't* want to ask for help is a different story :) – mu is too short May 10 '12 at 07:03
Nice to hear. You made my day. Greetings! :) – Marcin Rogacki May 10 '12 at 07:10
