Routes question

raimon · January 19, 2009, 11:19am

Hello,

I’m stucked in a completely newbie question …

I have one controller scann

all the default methods work: index, new, save, …

I added a new one called query, and when I try to call it

http://127.0.0.1:3000/scann/query

I’m getting an error, and the method who is trapping is ‘show’

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in ScannsController#show

Couldn’t find Scann with ID=query
RAILS_ROOT: /Users/montx/Documents/Ruby/scanner

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
/Users/montx/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1528:in
find_one' /Users/montx/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1511:in find_from_ids’
/Users/montx/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:590:in
find' app/controllers/scanns_controller.rb:21:in show’
app/controllers/application.rb:42:in `login_required’
…

If for example I put an undefined action:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/scann/q5645343 is also trying to execute the
‘show’ action …

wich route I should add to my routes.rb to allow this action ?

I read mor than twice the Rails Routing from the Outside In and made
some attempts but …

thanks,

r.

You’ll need to add a new route for your custom action. Assuming you
have map.resources :scanns in your routes.rb

If the action you need will work on a collection:

map.resources :scanns, :collection => { :query => :get }

or if just on a member:

map.resources scanns, :member => { :query => :get }

You’ll need to change :get to whatever method you need.

I also added the lines as you said, the same problem, and also tried
with:

map.resources :scanns, :member => { :query => :any }

In this case, what I want is to show a page with a form for enter data
and later query the database.

I could make it work with other Rails versions but not with the last one
…

What can be wrong ???

thanks,

I’m having a similar issue.

I have a controlle/model
in for Appointment with a new action :cancel

When I create a link_to tag (tried may different ways…assigning
cancel_appointment_path(appointment) and assigning :controller =>
:appointment, :action => :cancel, id: => appointment.id ), but I’m
getting an error no matter how I try. Assuming we’re using an
appointment with id 7… I get a path /appointments/7/cancel and an error
saying action “7” not found…logs show it’s looking for action 7 and
trying to pass in id of “cancel”.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thx. -David

Can you post the result of rake routes ?

Can you give the output of:

ruby script/about

from your application directory?

Just realized you’d asked for routes… here’s what I have (showing
just those for cancel closing…can post others if you wish).

cancel_closing POST /closing/cancel
{:controller=>“closings”, :action=>“cancel”}

formatted_cancel_closing POST /closing/cancel.:format
{:controller=>“closings”, :action=>“cancel”}

in my routes.rb I have the line for adding the method as
map.resources :closings, :member => { :cancel => :post }, :requirements
=> {:protocol => ROUTES_PROTOCOL}

Hope that helps give a bit more context.

David,

Your link_to has a cancel_appointment_path but your routes are all
cancel_closing variants. Do you have any routes in place for the
appointments_controller?

Rick,

That was my mistake. Appointment object was recently split into two
objects…and the closing is the one we need to have cancelable now. I
copied my link to from an old view that’s not actually being used (my
mistake…sorry for the confusion).

So…the link I’m actually trying to get working is:

<%= link_to ‘Cancel’, cancel_closing_path(closing), :confirm => ‘Are you
sure?’ %>

So
