Haml Form Not Submitting in Sinatra App - sinatra

Question

I'm having problems submitting my form now that I've converted from erb to haml in a simple sinatra app.
new.haml
%form{ :action => "/new", :method => "post"}
%fieldset
%ol
%li
%label{:for => "username"} Name:
%input{:type => "text", :username => "name", :class => "text"}
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}
In my app.rb
get '/new' do
haml :new
end
post '/new' do
radcheck = Radcheck.new(:username => params[:username])
if radcheck.save
redirect '/'
else
"Hello World"
end
end
each time I get the Hello World statement appear. My logs show nothing interesting.
Any ideas? Worked just fine with erb??

Answer 1

This is what I've tested
get '/new' do
haml :new
end
post '/new' do
#radcheck = Radcheck.new(:username => params[:username])
username = params[:username]
if username
username
else
"Hello World"
end
end
and new.haml
%form{ :action => "/new", :method => "post"}
%fieldset
%ol
%li
%label{:for => "username"} Name:
%input{:type => "text", :name => "username", :class => "text"}
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}
And it works as expected. So for some reason radcheck.save is returning false, but that has nothing to do with haml. (But notice that I have corrected input with :name => "username")
