Question

I have the following in my routes file:

resources :timelogs do
  member do
    post :stop
  end
  collection do
    get :start
  end
end

which produces the following on ‘rake routes’ :

rake routes | grep stop
stop_timelog POST   /timelogs/:id/stop(.:format)       {:action=>"stop", :controller=>"timelogs"}

However, when posting a request to that URL I’m seeing:

Started POST "/timelogs/325/stop" for 188.220.17.64 at Wed Nov 24 02:22:22 -0800 2010
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/timelogs/325/stop"):

All of this looks like it should be working, however, it’s not. What could be the problem here?

Answer 1

Actually when you are trying to send your form with exists resource (ticket) rails by default will send PUT request, so you should set :method => :post clear or change route from

post :resolve, :on => :member

to

put :resolve, :on => :member
