Acts As Votable Get Upvotes Error - ruby-on-rails

Question

Working with the Acts as Votable gem on my rails 4 app.
So far I have gotten everything working, except when I call get_upvotes and get_downvotes to display how many votes a post has, I get this error:
undefined method `get_upvotes' for #<Post:0x000001078b5f58>
Here is my Post view (_post.html.erb):
<%= post.name %>
<%= post.title %>
<%= post.content %><br>
<%= link_to 'Show', post %>
<% if can? :update, #post %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post) %>
<% end %>
<% if can? :destroy, #post %>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', post, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to like_post_path(post), class: "like", method: :put do %>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info" aria-label="Left Align">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-thumbs-up glyphicon-align-center" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="badge"><%= post.get_upvotes.size %></span>
</button>
<% end %>
<%= link_to dislike_post_path(post), class: "like", method: :put do %>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info" aria-label="Left Align">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-thumbs-down glyphicon-align-center" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="badge"><%= post.get_downvotes.size %></span>
</button>
<% end %>
Here is my controller (posts_controller.rb):
class PostsController < ApplicationController
load_and_authorize_resource
before_action :set_post, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy, :upvote, :downvote]
def index
end
def show
end
def new
end
def edit
end
def create
respond_to do |format|
if #post.save
format.html { redirect_to #post, notice: 'Post was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #post }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #post.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #post.update(post_params)
format.html { redirect_to #post, notice: 'Post was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #post }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #post.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def destroy
#post.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to posts_url, notice: 'Post was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
def upvote
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
#post.upvote_from current_user
redirect_to :back
end
def downvote
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
#post.downvote_from current_user
redirect_to :back
end
private
def set_post
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def post_params
params.require(:post).permit(:name, :title, :content, :image, :image2, :video1, :video2)
end
end
and my model (post.rb):
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_voter
belongs_to :user
end
user model (user.rb):
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_votable
has_many :posts
end
and lastly my routes (routes.rb):
resources :posts do
member do
put "like" => "posts#upvote"
put "dislike" => "posts#downvote"
end
end
Does anyone know why get_upvotes isn't working?

Answer 1

Reading the docs, it looks like get_upvotes is a method on the acts_as_votable, not the acts_as_voter.
I don't know much about the context of your code, but shouldn't the User be voting on the Post, like so:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_votable
belongs_to :user
end
User model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_voter
has_many :posts
end
