Question

I have an app that I am working on that directs users to a “bundle” page when purchasing one product so that they have the opportunity to add another product to “bundle” their purchase for a discount.

Here is my routes:

resources :orders, :path_names => { :new => 'checkout' }
match "/orders/bundle" => "orders#bundle", :as => 'bundle_order'
match "/orders/add_product" => "orders#add_product", :as => 'add_product'

Here is my Controller#Action

def bundle
op_client = Client.find_by_name(opposite_client(current_client))
@product = Product.find_by_client_id_and_type_and_status(op_client.id, "subscription", "Active")

respond_with @product
end

For some reason when I redirect_to this method, I receive this error:

Unknown action
The action 'show' could not be found for OrdersController

I don’t have a show method in my OrdersController cause I don’t need it. Why would I be seeing this issue?

Answer 1

This error could be caused by two diferent things.

first:

are you using something like: <%= link_to @order_object %> ?? if you are, this is the problem.

second:

on routes.rb change this line:

resources :orders, :path_names => { :new => 'checkout' }

to

resources :orders, :path_names => { :new => 'checkout' }, :except => [:show]

this should work. if not, please give more details about the code you are using to do the redirect_to
