found unpermitted parameters: utf8, authenticity_token only for update method

Question

I have the update method in user managements controller like this

def update
  @user.update(user_permitted_params)
  redirect_to admin_user_managements_path
end

My strong parameters is set as

def user_permitted_params
  params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password,
  :password_confirmation,
  :address, :zip_code,
  :phone_number, :role_id)
end

I am getting following issue

Unpermitted parameters: utf8, _method, authenticity_token, user, commit

Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"7havX0C2i4Q4FU+bokYKFQrpENi/lrEAawVXo1ubVbxuf5W2bUHXdBoZWZEVnsVb/hC+F6EfKSuPx/Xo9eQG4g==", "user"=>{"email"=>"kurianmathew10@gmail.com", "name"=>"Kurian Mathew", "address"=>"plackattu", "zip_code"=>"", "phone_number"=>"", "password"=>"[FILTERED]", "password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]", "role_id"=>"1"}, "commit"=>"Update", "id"=>"1"} — kurian mathew, Mar 26 '15 at 10:15

There is no obvious reason for why this is happening based on the code you posted, you may have to post the entire controller. What does params[:user] return? — Tor Erik Linnerud, Dec 22 '17 at 15:17
jap, the current code looks good. please post the form and the whole controller. — Simon Franzen, Mar 08 '18 at 11:27

I tried your code myself and the only explanation for your error is that you must have called @user.update(params) at some point.

+1 for you! This is from 2015, so I am not sure if this will still be accepted these days :/ – Christian Sep 19 '19 at 15:57
