Question

I have this in courses.html.erb under app/views/students

<% if @student.courses.count < Course.count then%>
  <% form_tag(course_add_student_path(@student)) do%>
  <%= select_tag(:course, options_from_collection_for_select(@student.unenrolled_courses, :id, :name))%>
  <%= submit_tag 'Enroll'%>
  <%end%>
  <%else%>
  <p><%=h @student.name%> is enrolled in every course. </p>
 <%end%>

I have this in my students_controller.rb under app/controllers:

  def course_add
    @student = Student.find(params[:id])
    @course = Course.find(params[:course])

    unless @student.enrolled_in?(@course)
      @student.coursess << @course
      flash[:notice] = 'course added'
    else
      flash[:error] = 'course already enrolled'
    end
    redirect_to :action => courses, :id => @student
  end

And in my routes.rb, I have:

  resources :students, :has_many => [:awards], :member => {:courses => :get, :course_add => :post, :course_remove => :post}

However, I am getting this error:

undefined method `course_add_student_path' for #<#<Class:0x105321d78>:0x1053200e0>

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Your routes syntax is wrong. Try this instead:

resources :students do
  resources :awards
  member do
    get "courses"
    post "course_add"
    post "course_remove"
  end
end
