Rails 3 Form For Custom Action
- by Andrew
I'm having trouble routing a form to a custom action in Rails 3. Here are my routes:
resources :photos do
resources :comments
collection do
get 'update_states'
end
member do
put 'upload'
end
end
Here's the form_for:
form_for @photo, :remote => true, :url => { :action => upload_photo_path(@photo) }, :html => { :multipart => :true, :method => 'put' } do |f|
And here's the error message:
No route matches {:action=>"/photos/42/upload", :controller=>"photos"}
... this is especially frustrating because "photos/:id/upload" is exactly the correct action for this form.
What am I missing?
EDITS - Here are the original Photo-related routes:
photo_comments GET /photos/:photo_id/comments(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"comments"}
POST /photos/:photo_id/comments(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"comments"}
new_photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"comments"}
edit_photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"comments"}
photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"comments"}
PUT /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"comments"}
DELETE /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"comments"}
update_states_photos GET /photos/update_states(.:format) {:action=>"update_states", :controller=>"photos"}
upload_photo PUT /photos/:id/upload(.:format) {:action=>"upload", :controller=>"photos"}
photos GET /photos(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"photos"}
POST /photos(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"photos"}
new_photo GET /photos/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"photos"}
edit_photo GET /photos/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"photos"}
photo GET /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"photos"}
PUT /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"photos"}
DELETE /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"photos"}
Here are the relevant routes when I changed the route to match 'upload':
photo_comments GET /photos/:photo_id/comments(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"comments"}
POST /photos/:photo_id/comments(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"comments"}
}
new_photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"comments"}
edit_photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"comments"}
photo_comment GET /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"comments"}
PUT /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"comments"}
DELETE /photos/:photo_id/comments/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"comments"}
update_states_photos GET /photos/update_states(.:format) {:action=>"update_states", :controller=>"photos"}
upload_photo /photos/:id/upload(.:format) {:action=>"upload", :controller=>"photos"}
photos GET /photos(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"photos"}
POST /photos(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"photos"}
new_photo GET /photos/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"photos"}
edit_photo GET /photos/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"photos"}
photo GET /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"photos"}
PUT /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"photos"}
DELETE /photos/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"photos"}
Unfortunately 'match' didn't work any better...
-- EDIT --
Just to confirm another scenario here... with this in the routes:
resources :photos do
resources :comments
collection do
get 'update_states'
end
member do
match 'upload'
end
end
and this in the view:
form_for @photo, :remote => true, :url => { :action => 'upload' }, :html => { :multipart => :true, :id => 'photo_upload' } do |f|
I still get:
No route matches {:action=>"upload", :controller=>"photos"}
