bootstrap-confiirmation doesn't handle method :delete in rails app - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm trying to use bootstrap-confirmation for an index view with datatables and a column for deleting the row item. I have it working without the confirmation, or with the default confirmation, but not with bootstrap-confirmation, it sends me to the show method, rather than the delete method of the controller. Its like it doesnt see the method: :delete
Here is the way I'm calling it in the index view. The popup confirmation displays, but when I click ok, it sends me to the show page.
<td><%= link_to '<i class="fa fa-trash-o fa-lg"></i>'.html_safe, role_path(id: role.id), method: :delete, :'data-toggle' => 'confirmation', :'data-copy-Attributes' => 'href data-method'%></td>
This following works (without confirmation), so I know my routes, controller action, etc work.
<td><%= link_to '<i class="fa fa-trash-o fa-lg"></i>'.html_safe, role_path(id: role.id), method: :delete, %></td>
Any ideas?
Heres my view:
<h1> Roles</h1>
</br>
<table width="100%" class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover" id="roles-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Roles</th>
<th>User Count</th>
<th>Delete Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% #roles.each do |role| %>
<tr>
<td><%= role.name %>
<td><%= role.users.count %></td>
<% if (role.users.count == 0) %>
<!--td><%= link_to '<i class="fa fa-trash-o fa-lg"></i>'.html_safe, role_path(id: role.id), method: :delete, :data => {:confirm => 'Are you sure?'}%></td-->
<td><%= link_to '<i class="fa fa-trash-o fa-lg"></i>'.html_safe, role_path(id: role.id), method: :delete, :'data-toggle' => 'confirmation', :'data-copy-Attributes' => 'href data-method'%></td>
<% else %><
<td></td>
<% end %>
</tr>
<% end %>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<%= link_to "Add Role", new_role_path, class: "btn btn-success"%>

I couldn't make the library work because it doesn't provide a way to edit the popup html it generates, so, it also took for me the link to the show method and no way to delete it.
So what I did was to create a route to delete the resource that expects to receive the id from the resource and a value in the params for delete:
get 'role/:id/:delete', to: 'role#show', as: 'show_role'
Then in your controller you can check if you're receving a delete param, in order to separate between show and destroy, if you receive it, then you destroy it and redirects to the roles_url:
def show
#role = Role.find(params[:id])
if params[:delete]
#role.destroy
redirect_to roles_url
end
end
Then in your view you can use a link_to helper, passing the route created previously passing the resource and a value for the delete param, adding the data attributes Bootstrap Confirmation needs to make it work:
<%= link_to 'Destroy', show_role_path(role, delete: true), data: { toggle: 'confirmation', title: 'Delete it?' } %>
