Error message when I click save.
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches [POST] "/locations/new"
view
<%= simple_form_for :locations do |form| %>
<%= form.input :name %>
<%= form.input :street %>
<%= form.input :city %>
<%= form.input :state %>
<%= form.submit 'Create location' %>
<% end %>
Using capybara to test that when I click on save it creates a new location. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't know what the post route is because I have the new and create routes. If I put a binding.pry right underneath the create method it doesn't get called. So my create method is not being called for some reason.
EDIT:
Rake Routes
locations POST /locations(.:format) locations#
new_location GET /locations/new(.:format) locations#new

A resource normally GETs to new and POSTs to create. So your form is probably submitting back to the new actions instead of submitting to the create action.
Here's the guide for this: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#crud-verbs-and-actions

The problem was in the views.
<%= simple_form_for :locations do |form| %>
<%= form.input :name %>
<%= form.input :street %>
<%= form.input :city %>
<%= form.input :state %>
<%= form.submit 'Create location' %>
<% end %>
I was calling on locations symbol when I should have been calling on the instance variable #location from the controller.
The actual problem was that rails 3.2.12 doesn't take private params

Using resources, the new action should be fetched with GET instead of POST. create will be POST. Check your rake routes

Rails form - multiple nested routes undefined method '_path'

This app has the following models:
Farm (has_many :crops)
Crop (belongs_to :farm, has_many :issues)
Issue (belongs_to :crop)
Here are the routes:
resources :farms do
resources :crops do
resources :issues
end
end
I want a user to be able to create a new "issue" from the Farm#show page that lists all the farm's crops. Here is the form that is causing the error on the Farm#show page:
undefined method `crop_issues_path' for #<#:0x007fa814a3cc30>
#from the show action on the controller:
##farm = Farm.find(params[:id])
##crops = #farm.crops
<% #crops.each do |crop| %>
<%= crop.id %>
<%= form_for([crop, crop.issues.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.select(:issue_type, options_for_select([['mold'], ['pests'], ['dehydration'], ['other']])) %>
<%= f.text_area :notes %><br>
<%= f.submit "New Issue", :class => "button" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
My create action on issues controller:
def create
#crop = Crop.find(params[:crop_id])
#issues = #crop.issues.create(params[:issue].permit(:issue_type, :notes, :crop_id))
redirect_to :back
end
I have used nearly identical code when the crops and issues were not nested under farms, and it works. I believe the issue is because of the nesting, but cannot figure out a solution.
I think your problem is with the object you're binging the form to. It should be #farm, as you're in the #farms show action.
I modified it to this:
<% #crops.each do |crop| %>
<%= crop.id %>
<%= form_for([#farm, crop, crop.issues.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :notes %><br>
<%= f.submit "New Issue", :class => "button" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
with my controller like this:
class FarmsController < ApplicationController
def index
end
def show
#farm = Farm.find_by_id(params[:id])
#crops = #farm.try(:crops)
end
end

Ruby - Saving a Model shows a Get url in browser

Ruby 2.2.4
Rails 4.2.6
PostgreSQL 9.5
I am trying to save a simple model, but when I submit the form, my browser url shows this "http://localhost:8080/notes/new?utf8=%E2%9C%93&authenticity_token=z0cyVNfUKYWDSDASDWFFZ96zj29UTtDYe8dLlKrI6Mbznb2SrTWNm%2BQ91D2s2AASD2345Fl3fTOneCC2dNg%3D%3D&note%5Btitulo%5D=ddddddd&note%5Bconteudo%5D=dddddddddddddddddd&commit=Create"
I am curious about this because other project, it has the same methods, same routes, the only difference is the model that only have one column, but it works fine.
def change
create_table :notes do |t|
t.text :titulo
t.text :conteudo
t.timestamps null: false
end
My controller: notes_controller.rb
def new
#note = Note.new
end
def create
#note = Note.new(note_params)
if #note.save
redirect_to '/'
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def note_params
params.require(:note).permit(:titulo,:conteudo)
end
my form
<%= form_for(#note) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :titulo %><br>
<%= f.text_area :titulo %>
<%= f.label :conteudo %><br>
<%= f.text_area :conteudo %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Create" %>
</div>
<% end %>
my routes
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'notes#index'
get 'notes/new' => 'notes#new'
post 'notes' => 'notes#create'
I saw this post Rails form issuing GET request instead of POST request
but does not work for me.
Edit:
I fix it thanks to Anthony E, his answer made me look back to code and realize that I have a form inside a form. The outer form was in application.html.erb.
Thanks to all.
Rails can't infer the appropriate form route from your model. Try explicitly setting the form URL and submit method in your form_for:
form_for #note, url: "/notes", as: :note, html: { method: :post } do |f|
end
Alternatively, it may be simpler to use resourceful routing:
In routes.rb:
resources :notes, only: [:new, :create, :index]
This will create the following routes:
GET /notes/new # Maps to NotesController#new
POST /notes # Maps to NotesController#create
GET /notes # Maps to NotesController#index

I'm getting a NoMethodError on rails, unsure how to access a model through another model

Im writing a game on rails, and am trying to allow a user to create their mine (its a mining game).
I have a table for the users, and a table for mines.
Each user has a ref. ID on their entry, pointing to their mine's ID in the mine table.
I'm getting an error when I try to visit /users/1/mines/new.
undefined method `mines_path'
I can't figure out why.
form in New:
<%= form_for [#mine] do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %><br>
<p>Depth: <%= #mine.depth %></p>
<%= f.submit "Submit", id: "submit" %>
<% end %>
Controller:
def new
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
#mine = #user.mines.new
end
def create
#mine = #user.mines.create(mine_params)
if #mine.save
redirect_to users_mines_path
else
render new_mines_path
end
end
routes:
root 'welcome#index'
resources :sessions, only: [:create]
resources :users do
resources :mines
end
resources :tools, only: [:create]
How can I create a new mine THROUGH the user? Am I doing this correctly in my controller?
Thanks!
In your routes you have mines nested inside users so you need to change your form to something like this:
<%= form_for [#user,#mine] do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %><br>
<p>Depth: <%= #mine.depth %></p>
<%= f.submit "Submit", id: "submit" %>
<% end %>
OR
You can specify url option with your path:
<%= form_for #mine, url: user_mines_path(#user) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %><br>
<p>Depth: <%= #mine.depth %></p>
<%= f.submit "Submit", id: "submit" %>
<% end %>
For details on forms refer to Form Helpers
Also as #Vimsha pointed out in your controller you need to use .new instead of .create as create will initialize and save your your mine.
def create
#mine = #user.mines.new(mine_params)
if #mine.save
redirect_to user_mines_path
else
render new_user_mine_path
end
end
#user.mines.create will create the mine. So use #user.mines.new
named route for mine index will be user_mines_path
named route for mine show will be user_mine_path(#mine)
named route for new mine will be new_user_mine_path
Contoller:
def create
#mine = #user.mines.new(mine_params)
if #mine.save
redirect_to user_mines_path
else
render new_user_mine_path
end
end

The problem you're having is two-fold - with your routes and controller actions
I know Monk_Code gave an answer, but since you're new, I'll explain how it all works for you, with the goal of helping you understand the system a bit better:
Routes
Your first issue is to do with your routes
Rails has done an amazing job of creating great routing structures, and the core of this is the idea of resourceful routes
By using the following code, your Rails app creates a series of 7 routes which Rails uses to send "default" traffic to your controller actions:
#config/routes.rb
resources :companyratings
This routing structure creates the following routes in your app:
new [GET]
index [GET]
create [POST]
edit [GET]
update [POST]
destroy [DELETE]
show [GET]
All of these routes take directed traffic, and routes it to the relevant controller action. This means that if you send a user to /companyratings/, it's going to load the index action, likewise /companyratings/15 will show the show action in the controller
On top of this, you also need to know what the HTTP "verb" does. This is a key principle which Rails uses to route your traffic accordingly. The "verb" in your request is the type of request that's sent, and is dependent on the browser
As you can see from the list above, every route has an associated HTTP verb. The reason why this is important is because if you send a [GET] request to a route which only works with the [DELETE] verb, you're going to get a problem, hence why you're seeing errors when you send a [POST] request to your index action
You should read the Rails tutorial on this, as you can either fix the issue by sending the correct HTTP verb (using :method => :get), or specify the [POST] verb in your index action route
Controller Actions
Controller actions are the function defined in your controller, which are loaded when you run a particular request in Rails
The default index actions are listed above, but you can also have any others you like, as long as you provide the correct routes. Your problem is that you've just used the add action, where you should have used the create action:
class CompanyratingController < ApplicationController
def index
#companies = Companyrating.all
end
def new
#companyrating = Companyrating.new
end
def create
#companies = Companyrating.new(new_company_rating)
if #companies.save
flash[:success] = "Welcome to My Space!"
redirect_to root_url
end
end
private
def new_company_rating
params.require(:company_rating).permit(:variables, :listed, :here)
end
end

Rails 4 Routing Error - no rout matches [POST] "/categories/new"

While learning Rails 4 I stuck while trying to add categories to posts of my simple blog. I have generated model, ran the migration and added a controller. No matter what I do now when trying to create a category, I keep running into same mistake: no route matches [POST], which is weird, as I seem to have all the code in place. Please help!
categories controller
class CategoriesController < ApplicationController
def index
#categories = Category.all
end
def new
#category = Category.new
end
def create
#category = Category.new(category_params)
#category.save
redirect_to new_category_path, alert: "Category created!"
end
def show
#category = Category.find(params[:id])
end
def destroy
#category = Category.find(params[:id])
#category.destroy
redirect_to categories_path
end
private
def category_params
params.require(:category).permit(:name)
end
end
routes.rb
Blog::Application.routes.draw do
get 'tags/:tag', to: 'posts#index', as: :tag
resources :categories
resources :posts do
resources :comments
end
root 'welcome#index'
end
category.rb
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :name, presence: true
has_many :posts
end
new.html.erb
<%= form_for :category do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
/categories/new
No route matches [POST] "/categories/new"
You should have in your view
<%= form_for #category do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
#category object is used by form_for method to figure out form url.
If you pass only Symbol to form_for method, without specifying url explicitly, form will be generated with url being the current url.
Although the #category works, if you read a bit further you will see that they will explain why the your code sends No route matches [POST] "/categories/new".
The guide actually explains that you need to specify the url: posts_path for the form to use the right route.
There's one problem with this form though. If you inspect the HTML
that is generated, by viewing the source of the page, you will see
that the action attribute for the form is pointing at /posts/new. This
is a problem because this route goes to the very page that you're on
right at the moment, and that route should only be used to display the
form for a new post.
The form needs to use a different URL in order to go somewhere else.
This can be done quite simply with the :url option of form_for.
Typically in Rails, the action that is used for new form submissions
like this is called "create", and so the form should be pointed to
that action.
Edit the form_for line inside app/views/posts/new.html.erb to look
like this:
<%= form_for :post, url: posts_path do |f| %>
In this example, the
posts_path helper is passed to the :url option. What Rails will do
with this is that it will point the form to the create action of the
current controller, the PostsController, and will send a POST request
to that route.
