ActionController::UnknownAction

Rails
1

Hi

I m new to RoR. I added a method to an already existing controller.
i am calling that method from a view (roadmap).
I also added following code in route.rb

project_actions.connect ‘projects/draganddropsort’, :action =>
‘draganddropsort’

portionwhere i call my function
<%= sortable_element ‘issue-list’,
:url => {:action => :draganddropsort, :issue_list => issues },
:complete => visual_effect(:highlight, ‘issue-list’),
:tag => ‘tr’
%>

And im getting the
following error;

Processing ProjectsController#draganddropsort (for 127.0.0.1 at
2011-01-12 16:03:20) [POST]

The only suggestion I can think of is to check there’s no private or
protected call on any of the lines above the method name or to check the
routes file:

project_actions.connect ‘projects/draganddropsort’, :action
=> ‘draganddropsort’

Where is the project_actions coming from ? is it a block variable for
map.resources :projects do |project_actions| ?

projects.with_options :conditions => {:method => :post} do
|project_actions|

Even i think some mistake in routing …i did some workaround on
it…but all in vain :(.
I call draganddropsort method from roadmap view…and its route is been
added like

map.with_options :controller => ‘projects’ do |projects|
projects.with_options :conditions => {:method => :get} do
|project_views|
…
project_views.connect ‘projects/:id/:action’, :action => ‘roadmap’
…
end
Can anyone suggest possible routes that i can add.

Thanks

Maybe just keep it very simple with:

map.connect ‘projects/draganddropsort’, :controller => ‘projects’,
:action
=> ‘draganddropsort’

And just see if you can access the draganddropsort method by navigating
to
it in your browser. Also might be worth running rake routes to see what
routes are getting set.

'http://127.0.0.1:3000/projects/1-strfronttech-011/draganddropsort’in

Unknown action

Whats 1-strfronttech-011 ?

If you’re passing parameters in the url then you’ll need to show that in
the
routes sometihng like.

map.connect 'projects/:your_parameter/draganddropsort, :controller =>
'projects, :action => ‘draganddropsort’

You can access that parameter in your controller with
params[:your_parameter]

David

yes i did map.connect ‘projects/:id/draganddropsort’, :controller =>
‘projects’, :action => ‘draganddropsort’ in route.rb…

Could you post your projects controller? Might be able to see if there’s
something wrong in there.

I resolved the issue
It was a PEBKAC, accidentally I defined my method under a set of private
methods :(.

Thanks David
