Devise allow admins to delete users - ruby-on-rails

Question

This seems to be a common issue, I have tried a couple solutions and am getting an unexpected issue. The goal is to create a page that admins can edit the permissions on and delete user accounts. routes:
devise_for :users, controllers: { registrations: 'users/registrations'}
get '/login', to: 'sessions#new'
match '/users', to: 'users#index', via: 'get'
match '/users/makeAdmin', to: 'users#makeAdmin', via: 'get', :as => :users_makeAdmin
match '/users/revokeAdmin', to: 'users#revokeAdmin', via: 'get'
match 'users/:id' => 'users#destroy', :via => :delete, :as => :admin_destroy_user
match 'users/:id' => 'users#show', via: 'get', as: :user
resources :users
users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
end
def makeAdmin
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.update(admin: true)
redirect_to users_index_path
end
def revokeAdmin
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.update(admin: false)
redirect_to users_index_path
end
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def destroy
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.destroy
if #user.destroy
redirect_to users_index_path, notice: "User deleted."
end
end
end
users/index.html.erb
<style>
.button_to {
display: inline;
}
.evenrow {
background-color: #eee;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function alert() {
alert("The paragraph was clicked.");
}
</script>
<h1>All Users</h1>
<ul class="list-group" style="padding: 0em 10% 0em 10%;">
<li class="list-group-item" style="background-color: #428bca; border-color: #357ebd;; color: #fff;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<b>User Email</b>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<b>User Name</b>
</div>
<div class="col-md-1">
<b>Admin</b>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<b>Controls</b>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<%#users = User.all%>
<% #users.each do |user| %>
<li class="list-group-item">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= user.email %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<%= user.name %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-1">
<%= user.admin %>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<% if user.admin %><%= link_to 'Revoke Admin', users_revokeAdmin_path(id: user.id), class: "btn btn-primary btn-md" %><% else %><%= link_to 'Make Admin', users_makeAdmin_path(id: user.id), class: "btn btn-primary btn-md" %><% end %>
| <%= link_to "Destroy", admin_destroy_user_path(user), method: :delete, data: { confirm: "You sure?" }, class: "btn btn-primary btn-md" %>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
When I hit the destroy button for a user I get an error that says
Template is missing
Missing template users/show, application/show with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :coffee, :jbuilder]}. Searched in: * "/home/student/SLP/rca/app/views" * "/home/student/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/devise-4.2.0/app/views"
I haven't seen this mentioned in any other questions dealing with this, any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The reason you're hitting a no template error is because if #user.destroy is false since you've already destroyed the user in the line above. Therefore redirect_to users_index_path never happens and it's looking for a destroy template.
Change your code to:
def destroy
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.destroy
redirect_to users_index_path, notice: "User deleted."
else
redirect_to users_index_path, flash: { error: "User could not be deleted." }
end
end
