Question

I have the following destroy method in my Tracks controller:

def destroy
  if params[:product_id].present? 
    @product = Product.find(params[:product_id])
    @track = @product.tracks.find(params[:id])
    @track.destroy
    redirect_to product_path(@product)  
  elsif params[:release_id].present?         
    @release = Release.find(params[:release_id])
    @track = @release.tracks.find(params[:id])
    @track.destroy
    redirect_to release_path(@release)  
  end
end  

I can destroy a Release Track using:

<%= link_to 'Destroy', release_track_path(@release,track), :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>

But I get a routing error ” No route matches [POST] “/products/74/tracks/43″ ” when I try to destroy Product Track:

<%= link_to 'Destroy', product_track_path(@product,track), :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :destroy %> 

I’ve taken a look at my Routes file and think it’s probably an issue there, but having tried a few things i’m stumped! Can anyone help? This is driving me crazy. I’m using the same if els on my create method and it works fine for both Release Track and Product Track.

Here’s my routes.rb (I suspect this is a big mess!)

Dashboard::Application.routes.draw do

get "home/index"
root :to => "home#index"
get "tracks/new"
get "tracks/create"
get "tracks/update"
get "tracks/edit"
get "tracks/destroy"
get "tracks/show"
get "tracks/index"
get "help/index"

  end  
end

Answer 1

You seem to have mixed up :delete and :destroy and the second line. :method expects an HTTP verb, so it should be :delete.
