Description

I navigated to a project that I manage and that has the Bibliography module enabled, and clicked on "Add Publication to this Project" (while testing #240).

I entered a title, added myself as author, and selected Article for the Bibtex type, then hit the submit button and got an error page. The page URL after form submission was http://test.soundsoftware.ac.uk/cannam/publications (with no GET arguments) and the error was:

ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in PublicationsController#create

Project(#88402500) expected, got NilClass(#73867720)

I addded a safety test, but was unable to replicate this bug… could you give me more feedback on this?

Now I have a different error. Process was exactly as above -- this time I was re-entering a publication after clearing out the database while recovering from #254.

RuntimeError in PublicationsController#create

Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
