Getting wrong route - fairly complete error description

OK, I have a routing problem, that seems to be working in the console,
but not in the app.

I have people that have nested tasks, like so:


routes.rb

map.resources :people do |person|
person.resources :phone_notes
person.resources :documents
person.resources :tasks, :member => {:complete => :put}
end
map.resources :tasks, :member => {:complete => :put}

And then if I go into irb and try to recognize and generate those
routes, all is good:


rs = ActionController::Routing::Routes
rs.recognize_path(“/people/9/tasks/95/complete”, :method => :put)
=> {:action=>“complete”, :person_id=>“9”, :controller=>“tasks”,
:id=>“95”}
rs.generate({:action=>“update”, :person_id=>“9”,
:controller=>“tasks”, :id=>“95”})
=> “/people/9/tasks/95/complete”


So that is all good.

Then rake routes gives me a list which also shows things are good:


complete_person_task PUT /people/:person_id/tasks/:id/complete
{:controller => “tasks”, :action => “complete”}

But then in my people/show view I have:


<%= button_to “Done”, :url => complete_person_task_path(task), :method
=> :put -%>

Which generates this URL:


http://127.0.0.1:3000/people/9?method=put&url=%2Fpeople%2F9%2Ftasks%2F95%2Fcomplete

Which gives the following error:


Unknown action
No action responded to 9003000000071902

So obviously the route is not tagging on the custom nested route I have
made.

So I disabled the “default” routes at the bottom and then I get:


ActionController::MethodNotAllows

Only get, put, and delete requests are allowed

Request Parameters:

{“url”=>“/people/9/tasks/95/complete”,
“method”=>“put” }

Anyone got any ideas? I am sure it is something simple, but just
tearing my hair out on this one.

Regards

Mikel

Obviously this 9003000000071902 is a mistake. Should be 9 which is
the person ID. Don’t ask… cut and paste deamons
