Rake routes 'match' mapping to the wrong action - ruby-on-rails

My question has to do with mapping to controllers/actions using named routes. I am trying to map '/profile' to 'customers#show'. My routes file looks like this:
root :to => 'pages#home'
## named routes
match "profile" => "customers#show", :as => 'profile'
match 'signin' => 'sessions#new', :as => 'signin'
match 'signout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => 'signout'
resources :customers do
member do
get 'add_card'
post 'submit_card'
end
end
resources :payments, :only => [:show, :new]
delete 'payments/delete_recurring_payment'
post 'payments/submit_non_recurring'
post 'payments/submit_recurring'
resources :sessions, :only => [:create, :destroy, :new]
Running 'rake routes' gives me this:
root / pages#home
profile /profile(.:format) customers#show
signin /signin(.:format) sessions#new
signout /signout(.:format) sessions#destroy
add_card_customer GET /customers/:id/add_card(.:format) customers#add_card
submit_card_customer POST /customers/:id/submit_card(.:format) customers#submit_card
customers GET /customers(.:format) customers#index
POST /customers(.:format) customers#create
new_customer GET /customers/new(.:format) customers#new
edit_customer GET /customers/:id/edit(.:format) customers#edit
customer GET /customers/:id(.:format) customers#show
PUT /customers/:id(.:format) customers#update
DELETE /customers/:id(.:format) customers#destroy
new_payment GET /payments/new(.:format) payments#new
payment GET /payments/:id(.:format) payments#show
Here is where I'm stumped. When I go to localhost:3000/profile I get a routing error saying this:
No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"customers"}
This seems odd because there is indeed a route to 'customers#edit' due to my declaring customers as a resource.
However, when I go to 'localhost:3000/signin' I get routed to 'customers#show' which is where I want '/profile' to route to.
It seems like my routes are 'one off' in my routes file but I have no idea why. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE 1: Adding my Customers Controller
class CustomersController < ApplicationController
layout "payments_layout"
def show
#customer = current_user
get_account_info(#customer)
get_payment_history(#customer, 10)
end
def new
#title = 'Create an account'
#customer = Customer.new
end
def edit
#customer = current_user
get_account_info(#customer)
end
def update
#customer = current_user
if #customer.update(params[:customer])
redirect_to #customer
else
#card_message = "Use this form to add a credit card to your account. You must have a credit card associated with your account in
in order to make payments on our system."
get_account_info(#customer)
render 'edit'
end
end
def create
#customer = Customer.new(params[:customer])
if #customer.save_and_get_stripe_id
sign_in(#customer)
redirect_to #customer
else
#title = 'Create an account'
render 'new'
end
end
def add_card
#customer = current_user
get_account_info(#customer)
#card_message = "Use this form to add a credit card to your account. You must have a credit card associated with your account in
in order to make payments on our system."
end
def submit_card
#customer = current_user
res = #customer.add_or_update_card(params)
if res
redirect_to #customer
else
#error = res
customer.get_account_info(#customer)
render 'add_card'
end
end
end

Check your views.
Do you have a link to edit your user profile?
It seems like you actually route to the right controller and action but have some links that rake can't route, e.g. you don't pass the ID to your edit_customer_path link.

Edit Route No Matches Routing Error GET

Hey guys I am using Rails 5. I am trying to let my users edit there info, password etc but when I go to this route.
http://0.0.0.0:3000/users/edit/1
The error I get is
No route matches [GET] "/users/edit/1"
I do have a user with an ID of 1 and I have checked in my rails console to verify.
I have an edit template, and the edit controller and the edit method in the controller but its just not working. What am I doing wrong? All help is welcome, thank you!
ROUTES
Rails.application.routes.draw do
# For details on the DSL available within this file, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
root 'pages#home'
get 'pages/tierlist', to: 'pages#tierlist'
resources :articles
get 'signup', to: 'users#new'
resource :users, except:[:new]
end
USERSCONTROLLER
class UsersController <ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.create(user_params)
if #user.save
flash[:success] = "Welcome to the OP-OR-Nah Community #{#user.username}"
redirect_to articles_path
else
render 'new'
end
end
def edit
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:username, :email, :password)
end
end
edit.html.erb
<h1>Edit your info</h1>
Also when I rake routes this is what I get back
rake routes |grep edit
edit_article GET /articles/:id/edit(.:format) articles#edit
edit_users GET /users/edit(.:format) users#edit
You have a typo in your file that is breaking the route.
Should be
resources :users, except: [:new]
That route typically should look like
"/users/:id/edit"
when you run rake:routes.
Default url for edit is pluralize_model_name/id/edit so users/1/edit. Anyway, you wrote resource and not resources so I think you have not that route. resource is a different method that generate something like
GET /user/new
GET /user
GET /user/edit
PATCH/PUT /user
DELETE /user
POST /user

Destroy Action Acting Unusual

The application has: Clients, which has and belongs to many ActionItems, which has and belongs to many Clients. A user, chooses a client (a client they have as a customer), and adds action items (to do's) to that client. -- Like: User creates => "Email client about X topic," for client: Crayola LLC.
I've been instructed to nest resources like so, in routes:
resources :clients do
resources :action_items
end
So that I can get a URL like:
-http://localhost:3000/clients/42/action_items/11
To display the action items for a specific client.
However - deleting action items for that client, doesn't work. It's been trying to redirect me to the destroy action, on which I get:
undefined local variable or method `clients_action_items' for # <ActionItemsController:0x007febd0edf800>
Prior to this, the delete link, which uses the destroy action, was attempting to redirect me to the show page, on which I was getting:
No route matches [POST] "/clients/42/action_items/1"
Then I added: post '/clients/:client_id/action_items/:id' => 'action_items#destroy' to the routes file. (and now I get the undefined local variable or method clients_action_items' error.

-New to rails. Please excuse dirty code. What is wrong here? Why the destroy link issues? Why was the destroy link redirecting to show before, and giving me both routing and ID errors?
Thanks for your time.

It seems you are trying to destroy an object using a POST request.
No route matches [POST] "/clients/42/action_items/1"
Did you try a DELETE request?
delete '/clients/:client_id/action_items/:id' => 'action_items#destroy'
You can read further about CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations here
Also, can you run rake:routes and post the output here? That will help figure out what routes are actually being generated.
EDIT
So, as you can see from the output of rake:routes there is a LOT of duplication. You basically have three models, User, Client and ActionItems with basic CRUD and one login.
Rake file:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'login', :to => "access#index"
resources :users
resources :action_items
resources :clients do
member do
get :action_items
end
end
root 'home#index'
end
Client and ActionItems have a many-to-many relation. If it was a one-to-many ie many ActionItems belong to only one Client then it would have been better to nest the resources.
To show all action items of a client you only need one extra method in client controller.
Clients Controller:
def show
#client = Client.find(params[:id])
end
def action_items
#list_action_items = #client.action_items
end
Action Items Controller:
#Will list all action_items irrespective of which clients they belong to
def index
#action_items = ActionItem.all
end
#For creating a new action item,
def new
#action_item = ActionItem.new
#You can render a form with dropdown here with Client.all to assign the new action_item to a client
end
def create
#action_item = ActionItem.new(action_items_params)
if #action_item.save
redirect_to(:action => 'show', :id => #action_item.id)
#renders client individual page
else
redirect_to(:action => 'new')
end
end
def edit
#action_item = ActionItem.find(params[:id])
end
def update
if #action_item.update_attributes(action_items_params)
flash[:notice] = "Updated"
redirect_to(:controller => 'action_items', :action => 'show', :id => #action_item.id)
else
render 'new'
end
end
def show
#action_item = ActionItem.find(params[:id])
end
def destroy
#action_item.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Action Item has been deleted."
redirect_to action_items_path
end
I have tried to simplify the structure here. If you want to perform tasks like deleting all action items of a client from the index/list page of all clients, you can define a method destroy_many in the ActionItems controller which takes client_id as argument, queries all action items and deletes them.
You don't need separate ClientActionItem controller/routes.
Also, if you want to continue with nested routes,
try
<%= button_to('Delete Action Item', client_action_item_path(#client.id, list.id), method: :delete) %></br>
The nested route requires two arguments. The first is client.id and second the action_item id.
This should work, but un-tested. I am not sure of your intentions, but I would use a link_to with a class of button personally.
<%= button_to('Delete Action Item', client_action_item_path(#client, list), method: :delete) %></br>

Rails: How to render different versions of a "show" view

I have a model "User". I defined it in my routes.rb with resources :users. I want to be able to render different versions of the same user. To see if it would work, here's what I tried in my routes.rb:
get "users/:id_alt", :to => "users#alt", :as => :user
and in my controller:
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def alt
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
But when I navigated to users/1, I got this error:
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in UsersController#alt
Couldn't find User without an ID
and the error pointed to this line under def alt:
#user = User.find(params[:id])
Anyone know how to remedy this error or accomplish this another way?
It is because you have set your route to use :id_alt
get "users/:id_alt", :to => "users#alt", :as => :user
So the controller is assuming the value in that location should have the name :id_alt not :id. You are not going to be able to have both routes set up this way, but you could do this:
get "users/alt/:id_alt", :to => "users#alt", :as => :alt_user
get "users/:id", :to => "users#show", :as => :user
You will be able to use these path methods: alt_user_path and user_path
And your controller should look like this:
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def alt
#user = User.find(params[:id_alt])
render :show
end
Running rake routes will result in this:
alt_user GET /users/alt/:id_alt(.:format) users#alt
user GET /users/:id(.:format) users#show

Form Sending To The Wrong PUT Request

I have two models for users ; the Plans model has_many users. Now, what I would like to do is to allow users to upgrade/downgrade their plans, by changing the plan_id. I've set up a form, as well as the appropriate action, but when I hit submit, it doesn't seem to do what the PUT action says. It seems to use the update action.
Here's my form :
<%= form_tag("/users/update_plan", :method => "put" ) do %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :plan_id, plan.id %>
<%= submit_tag("Change To Plan", :class => "signup") %>
<% end %>
Here's my update action
def update_plan
#user = current_user
#user.plan_id = params[:plan_id]
#user.save
sign_in #user
redirect_to change_plan
end
When I submit the form above though, it not only doesn't register the change, but I think it uses the update action, and not the update_plan action. The reason I think this is because it redirects to the what's in the update action, and it flashes the same thing as the update action.
def update
#user = current_user
if #user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
sign_in #user
redirect_to edit_user_path(#user)
else
render 'edit'
end
end
Here's my routes.rb file
Dentist::Application.routes.draw do
resources :users
resources :sessions, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :phones, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :find_numbers, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
put 'users/update_plan'
match '/signup', to: 'users#new'
match '/login', to: 'sessions#new'
match '/signout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: :delete
match '/change_plan', to: 'users#change_plan'
root to: 'static_pages#home'
match '/product_demo', to: 'static_pages#product_demo'
match '/pricing', to: 'plans#index'
match '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact'
And here's a console screenshot of what's happening:
http://stepanp.com/debug3.jpg
It seems to say it's using the update_plan action, but... :S
Any help on trying to get Update_plan action to function would be greatly appreciated!
The form is going to the right place (/users/update_plan), but that is being routed to:
UsersController#update
as it says on the second line of your console log. So not the action you expect, and the problem is in your routes. Try this to list all your routes:
rake routes
Probably the users update route (created by resources :users) is catching this first:
PUT /users/:id(.:format) users#update
There are no restrictions on the content of id, and format is optional, so users/update_plan would call users/update with an id of update_plan (in fact you can see that is happening at the edge of your console log screenshot, look for the :id => parameter).
So I would move your custom route to the top of the routes file first above resources :users, and also try change it to direct to the action you want, not sure what a route with no action specified does...
put '/users/update_plan', to: 'users#update_plan'

No route matches {:action=>“show”, :controller=>“users”}

i following happens, this is my Usercontroller
class UserController < ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
redirect_to user_session_path
else
redirect_to new_user_session_path
end
end
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#redirect_to #user
end
end
in my routes.rb I have the following:
Estaciones::Application.routes.draw do
root :to => "static_pages#home"
match '/contact', :to=>'static_pages#contact'
match '/about', :to=>'static_pages#about'
devise_for :user
resources :user do
#resources :car
end
When I run it on my browser I get this:
Routing Error
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"user"}
Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.
I don't know why this happens???
You need to pass the User object or at least the user id to the link_to method where you're creating the link that you're clicking. Try something like <%= link_to user.name, user %>
Also make sure that your controller is properly named e.g. UsersController (plural).
Rename both the file:
'user_controller.rb' => 'users_controller.rb'
and the constant at the top:
UserController => UsersController
File names must match constants, and the convention is for models to be singular, and controllers to be plural (matching the table).
and try visiting
/users/1
