Hello all,
I am stumped by this issue I am having. I have created a new method in
my
routes file that I want to have accessible via javascript. Right now, I
am
getting the following error when I try to access the action:
ActionController::UnknownFormat (ActionController::UnknownFormat
Here is my environment:
routes:
resources :homes do
collection do
get ‘set_active’
end
end
controller
def set_active
@home = Home.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
index page:
<%= link_to home.status, set_active_homes_path(id: home.id), remote:
true %>
If i take out the respond to in the set_active action, it complains of a
missing template even though I have a set_active.js file in the
views/homes. This leads me to believe the respond_to block is the issue
and
not the fact that I am sending the JS format from the URL. It looks like
this action is only responding to html even though i have put remote:
true
in the link_to. I am trying to understand what I am missing.
I did google around and the only thing I saw was that the js mime-type
was
not available by default and to add it to the mime-types initializer.
But
when i did that, rails said that it was already initialized.
Am I missing something to be able to add JS/JQuery support?
Thanks in advance
