Problem with CRUD

Rails
1

What do I do wrong?

map.resources :books

def BooksController
def create
# Code
end

def index
# Code
end

Other code

end

If I make a POST to books_url it calls index. What’s wrong?

I’ve probably left my head… somewhere. Please wait untill I find it.

First of all shouldn’t that look more like:

class BooksController < ApplicationController
def create
# Code
end

def index
# Code
end

Other code

end

Secondly, how are you issuing your POST?

  • From a form?
  • From the command line using a program like curl or wget?

If you are calling this from a form what does your view code look
like?

Are you really sure you are issuing a POST? How do you know this?
Are you using a TCP capture application to view the HTTP requests?

Yes - sorry. I deleted too much.

No from browser.

If you are calling this from a form what does your view code look like?

<% remote_form_for :book, :url => books_url, :method => :post do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.text_field :subtitle %>

<%= submit_tag “Save” %>

<% end %>%

I believe logs:

using

form_for :site, :url => “/sites/”, :html => {:method => :post} do |f|

because :action => :create [on the SitesController] sent the user back to
the index. Hard-coded urls work fine but Rails seems to choke on the proper
route generation. If I recall correctly, all these scenarios were with
RESTful routing but don’t hold me to that. Mine was, for sure, though.

That’s absurd, I don’t use any hardcoded URLs. Make sure your routes
file is correct. map.resources should go above the default map.connect
call.
