Ruby on Rails - ActionController::UrlGenerationError - ruby-on-rails

I am developing a project in Ruby on rails 5.2, and in this route it tells me that I have an error and that the specified route is not found. but when checking, the route is there or at least I think so.
Here's my routes.rb:
resources :checkin do
post :get_barcode, on: :collection
end
checkin_controller.rb:
class CheckinController < ApplicationController
def index
#checkin = CheckIn.all
end
def show
end
def new
#checkin = CheckIn.new
#checkin.upc = params[:upc]
end
def edit
end
def update
end
def destroy
end
def get_barcode
#checkin = Merchant.find_or_initialize_by(upc: params[:upc])
unless #checkin.new_record?
redirect_to #checkin
else
redirect_to new_product_path(upc: params[:upc])
end
end
end
And my link in my view:
<%= link_to "Check-In", checkin_path, :class => "nav-link" %>
here's a image of my error page:

If you run rake routes in your console, you'll see that your routes are:
get_barcode_checkin_index POST /checkin/get_barcode(.:format) checkin#get_barcode
checkin_index GET /checkin(.:format) checkin#index
POST /checkin(.:format) checkin#create
new_checkin GET /checkin/new(.:format) checkin#new
edit_checkin GET /checkin/:id/edit(.:format) checkin#edit
checkin GET /checkin/:id(.:format) checkin#show
PATCH /checkin/:id(.:format) checkin#update
PUT /checkin/:id(.:format) checkin#update
DELETE /checkin/:id(.:format) checkin#destroy
As you can see, the checkin_path expects an id, which you are not providing here:
<%= link_to "Check-In", checkin_path, :class => "nav-link" %>
Your error probably says something about missing id, but you don't provide the error in your question, so we can't see exactly what it says.
BTW, by convention, CheckinController should probably be CheckinsController. And your routes should probably be:
resources :checkins do
post :get_barcode, on: :collection
end

As you said in one of your comments, you're expecting the URL for the index page?
Then instead of
<%= link_to "Check-In", checkin_path, :class => "nav-link" %>`
you need to use
<%= link_to "Check-In", checkin_index_path, :class => "nav-link" %>

Route to the wrong URL

I'm getting
ActionView::Template::Error (No route matches {:action=>"to_approve", :controller=>"microposts", :id=>nil} missing required keys: [:id]):
No route matches {:action=>"to_approve", :controller=>"microposts",
:id=>nil} missing required keys: [:id]
But it make no sense because I'm routing to different route
route.rb
match '/microposts/:id/approve', to: 'microposts#to_approve' , via: [:get, :post], as: 'approve_micropost'
match '/microposts/to_approve', to: 'microposts#approve' , via: :get
controller.rb
def show
#tag = Tag.find(params[:id])
#microposts = #tag.microposts
end
show.html.rb
<%= render #microposts %>
_micropost.html.rb - Here is the line it shows the error on
<% if is_an_admin? %>
<%= link_to "Approve", approve_micropost_path(micropost.id) %>
<% end %>
micropost_controller.rb
def approve
#microposts = Micropost.unapproved
end
def to_approve
micropost = Micropost.unapproved_by_id(params[:id])
if micropost.update_attributes(approved: true)
flash[:success] = "Approved!"
else
flash[:error] = "Not approved!"
end
redirect_back_or microposts_to_approve_path
end
micropost.rb
default_scope { where(approved: true).order('microposts.created_at DESC')}
def self.unapproved
self.unscoped.all.where(approved: false).order('microposts.created_at DESC')
end
def self.unapproved_by_id(id = nil)
self.unscoped.all.where(id: id)
end
You can see it tries to create microposts_to_approve_path with :id which obviously not exists, but I wrote approve_micropost_path.
What am I missing?
Plus, in route for microposts_to_approve_path I permitted [:get, :post] although I only want to allow access to to_approve method through on_click events (post?) and there is no view for it.. How should I rewrite this?
rake routes:
microposts POST /microposts(.:format) microposts#create
micropost DELETE /microposts/:id(.:format) microposts#destroy
approve_micropost GET|POST /microposts/:id/approve(.:format) microposts#to_approve
microposts_to_approve GET /microposts/to_approve(.:format) microposts#approve
On the error page, the parameters:
Request
Parameters:
{"id"=>"4",
"name"=>"tag name"}
Solution
The problem was because I use default_scope and than the object the I was working with wasn't OK.
Before fix
#microposts = #tag.microposts ##microposts is CollectionProxy
After
#microposts = #tag.microposts.all ##microposts is AssociationRelation
Once I've change to .all the problem was solved.
BTW, is it a bug? In my prespective default_scope shouldn't change the default behavior..
If you want it to only respond to a post, then try changing your link to use the method 'post'.
<% if is_an_admin? %>
<%= link_to "Approve", approve_micropost_path(micropost.id), method: :post %>
<% end %>
Conversely, if you want it to route to microposts#to_approve on a get, then make your link explicitly call get.
<% if is_an_admin? %>
<%= link_to "Approve", approve_micropost_path(micropost.id), method: :get %>
<% end %>
Then you should be routed to microposts#to_approve using POST. However, since you re allowing either action to take place, make sure in your to_approve action, you'll have to check for request type. Such as:
#microposts controller
def to_approve
if request.post?
# Do post related things
else
# Do get related things
end
end
Sidenote *** using the to_approve action on the approve url, and using the approve action on the to_approve url is confusing, things you might forget why-you-did-what-you-did when you look at the code 6 months from now.
Edit
An alternative might be to break apart the routes so you aren't calling an if statement in your controller.
route.rb
post '/microposts/:id/approve', to: 'microposts#approve', as: 'approve_micropost'
get '/microposts/:id/to_approval', to: 'microposts#to_approve', as: 'micropost_approvals'
resources :microposts

Trying to Delete Message from List with Rails

So I have a simple list of messages that users can submit. I'm trying to put a delete button (that works) for each message. But as you can see here you get an error about an entirely different action if you click the button. I'm not totally sure about where I went wrong. My guess is that I'm out of my depth in the controller area. Here are all the applicable files.
Routes.rb:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'messages#index', as: :home
get '/new' => 'messages#new', as: :edit
resources :messages
post '/new' => 'messages#create', as: :create
delete 'messages/:id' => 'messages#destroy', as: :delete
The relevant controller:
class MessagesController < ApplicationController
def index
#messages=Message.all
end
def new
#messages=Message.new
end
def destroy
#messages=Message.find(params[:id])
#messages.destroy
end
def create
#messages = Message.new(message_params)
if #messages.save
redirect_to '/'
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def message_params
params.require(:message).permit(:content, :subject)
end
end
The Relevant View:
<div class="main">
<div="messages">
<%#messages.each do |t|%>
<h2 class="subject"><%=t.subject%></h2>
<p class="content"><%=t.content%></p>
<%=link_to "Delete Message", delete_path(t)%>
<% end %>
<%=link_to "Create Message", edit_path%>
</div>
</div>
You need to pass the method DELETE as well, otherwise it will perform the simply GET request. Here's how:
<%=link_to "Delete Message", delete_path(t), :method => 'delete' %>
Remember if you do not mention any method in link_to, the default will be taken as GET. So you have to be explicit about other HTTP methods.
Edit:
Either use resources :messages, or use the routes that you wrote yourself. Using resources :messages is a bit easier, and it is the preferred way.
Using resources :messages, you'd have to write:
<%= link_to "Delete Message", t, :method => 'delete' %>
Edit 2:
You are getting the error Template is missing, because in your destroy method, neither you are rendering anything, nor you are redirect_toing anything. After you destroy the object, you will have to tell where should it go. Like if you want the user to go all messages page after he/she destroys the record, you need to add the following line to the end of the method:
redirect_to messages_path

rails post path issue

I've an issue with the paths in the views and I don't know how to solve it.
I've "categories" that has_many "posts" and "posts" that belongs_to "categories".
1.- I want to show on home page the truncate last post of an specific category (the ID number "1"). Then I want that post to link to the show post path but I get this error:
"Unknow Action
The action 'index' could not be found for PostsController"
I think I've my paths wrong because I don't need the index view because I'm only going to show that specific post. So, I think that category_posts_path(#last_post) is not the right path (I don't know where to look for more info about making the route path in the views...). Actually, the browser is showing me that is looking for the "2" category when it is a post of the "1" category...? What am I doing wrong?
This is the browser route:
http://localhost:3000/en/categories/2/posts
This is my views/categories/home.html.erb file:
<div class="post_details">
<h2><%= #last_post.title %></h2>
<%= image_tag #last_post.image(:header), class: "post_image" %>
<p><%= truncate #last_post.body, length: 100 %></p>
<p class="button"><%= link_to "READ MORE", category_posts_path(#last_post) %></p>
</div>
2.- I have another path problem in the views/categories/show.html.erb file. I have a loop to show all the post of one specific category, but when I link in some post (to show it) there is the "index" error again:
"Unknow action
The action 'index' could not be found for PostsController"
This is the browser route:
http://localhost:3000/en/categories/1/posts
This is the views/categories/show.html.erb file:
<div class="post_details">
<h2><%= link_to post.title, category_posts_path(post) %></h2>
<%= image_tag post.image(:header), class: "post_image" %>
<p><%= post.body %></p>
</div>
This is the categories_controller.rb file:
class CategoriesController < ApplicationController
before_action :get_categories
def index
end
def show
#category = Category.find(params[:id])
end
def home
if params[:set_locale]
redirect_to root_url(locale: params[:set_locale])
else
#category = Category.find_by_id(1)
#last_post = #category.posts.order("created_at desc").first
end
end
def get_categories
#categories = Category.all.order("rank asc, name asc")
end
end
This is my posts_controller.rb file:
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def show
#category = Category.find(params[:category_id])
#post = #category.posts.find(params[:id])
end
end
This is my route.rb file:
scope '(:locale)' do
resources :categories do
resources :posts
end
resources :contacts
root 'categories#home'
get "/contact" => "contacts#new"
# static pages
get "/investment" => "contents#investment"
get "/partner-with-us" => "contents#partner", as: "partner"
get "/our-companies" => "contents#companies", as: "companies"
get "/site-map" => "contents#sitemap", as: "sitemap"
get "/terms-and-conditions" => "contents#terms", as: "terms"
get "/privacy" => "contents#privacy"
end
When you are nesting routes you should always consider what is the parent and whats a child in given route. Since your paths don't know anything about your associations you have to explicitly define every object in the nesting.
I.e. since you nested posts in categories linking to last post in given category would look like this:
category_post_path(#category, #last_post)
(I think you have also a typo there - category_posts_paths - which links to posts index index - hence the error. Use category_post_path. instead, and give it both parent category and the post.
You can run rake routes to see exact information on paths (or go to http://localhost:3000/rails/info/routes )

how to configure new update method in routes

At this time I want to create a new method with the same functionallity than update default method so I did it like this, the method's name is 'updatepaso1' from a file called 'editpaso1.html.erb'
editpaso1.html.erb
<%= simple_form_for([#persona, #caracterizacion],
:url => url_for(:action => 'updatepaso1', :controller => 'caracterizaciones'),
:method => 'get') do |f| %>
content form
<% end %>
caracterizaciones_controller.rb
def updatepaso1
if #caracterizacion.update(caracterizacion_params)
redirect_to editpaso2_persona_caracterizacion_path(#persona, #caracterizacion), notice: 'Paso2 Finalizado Correctamente'
else
render action: 'editpaso1'
end
end
and routes.rb
resources :personas do
resources :caracterizaciones do
collection do
get :updatepaso1 # < --
get :updatepaso2
end
member do
get :editpaso1
get :editpaso2
get :editpaso3
end
end
end
If I try to do it from a default 'update' method it works's ok, but in this case when I update the information with that method the app redirect this url
http://localhost:3002/personas/2/caracterizaciones/updatepaso1
And should redirect this one after update the information
http://localhost:3002/personas/2/caracterizaciones/1/editpaso2
so I think the problem is the configuration in routes for that 'updatepaso1' method
thanks for your help

undefined method ..._index_path Ruby on Rails

I am trying to get a basic form to work and am struggling because I keep getting the error
undefined method `profiles_index_path' for #<#<Class:0x4fe1ba8>:0x4fccda0>
I have checked through and can't seem to work out where I am going wrong.
In my view (new.html.erb) I have:
<%= form_for #profile do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.text_field :city %>
<%= f.text_field :country %>
<%= f.text_field :about %>
<%= f.submit "Create Profile" %>
<% end %>
In my profiles controller I have:
class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
def new
#title = "New Profile"
#profile = Profiles.new
end
def create
#user = current_user
#profile = #user.profiles.new(params[:profile])
if #profile.save
redirect_to profile_path, :notice => "Welcome to your new profile!"
else
render "profiles#new"
end
end
def edit
#user = current_user
#profile = #user.profiles.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#title = "Update Profile"
#user = current_user
#profile = #user.profiles.find(params[:id])
if #profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])
redirect_to profile_path
else
render action: "edit"
end
end
def index
#user = current_user
#profile = #user.profiles.all
#title = "Profile"
end
end
And finally in my profiles model I have
class Profiles < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
Any help people can offer really would be much appreciated because I am stumped. :)
Sorry forgot to include routes:
controller :profiles do
get "newprofile" => "profiles#new"
get "updateprofile" => "profiles#update"
get "profile" => "profiles#home"
end
resources :profiles, :controller => 'profiles'
The problem is indeed the way you've pluralized your model name. Don't do that. It should be a Profile, not a Profiles. There my be some work around to allow you to use a plural model name, but the answer is to stick to Rails convention rather than fighting the framework. Rename your model to Profile and the url_for helpers will understand how to correctly turn a new Profile object into a /profiles URL.
If you run "rake routes" command, do "profiles_index" appear in your routes? Usually for the index page of a model, the work 'index' is left out so the route is profiles_path
You error probably comes from a view where you've used profiles_index_path instead of profiles_path
I think it's failing due to the convention not being followed with your model name.
So I think you're problem is mostly around that you aren't following the convention on the model name, which would classically be singular, since each instance represents one profile. I think the form_for helper is trying to figure out what to do with it and failing as a result. So you have two options to try and resolve. Refactor the model name to singular (I'm not clear exacly how difficult that would be) or pass the :url paramater to form_for so it knows where to post to.
<% form_for #profile, :url => path_to_create_action do |f| %>
more information here:
I'm working with Rails 5 and I got the same error and it was specific using the word Media as my model and RoR used Medium as the plural so I got different routes when executing rake routes.
What I did to fix it was:
Delete the model I just have created.
rails d scaffold Media
Edit config/initializers/inflections.rb with:
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
# Here you can put the singular and plural form you expect
inflect.irregular 'media', 'medias'
end
Now execute the scaffold again:
rails g scaffold Media
Now you must have everything in the way you expected. Because you have overwritten the Pluralizations and Singularizations (Inflections) in Ruby on Rails.
I hope it could be useful.
Have you tried to replace your form_for tag with the following?
<%= form_for #profile, :as => :post do |f| %>
It looks like it's trying to treat it as a GET request to "/profile". And, since it is not finding the index action, it craps out. I think forcing it to do a POST will fix this issue.
