[Rails] Re: Nested Resourced, Books > Authors… Creating Records for Authors…

Updated the author controller with:

def new
@note = Author.new
@book = Book.find(params[:book_id])
.
.
end

Now the form is creating what seems like the right URL:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/books/3/authors"
class="new_author" id="new_author" method="post">
...

But after submitting a new author, it errors with (after hanging for a
while locally):
SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked: INSERT INTO
"authors" .........

thanks
