Question

I have this in my routes.rb file:

resources :carts do
    collection do
      post :review
      post :charge
    end
end

Sometimes, when a user goes to /carts/review, instead of going to the review action, it instead tries to go to show with an id of review. I’ve gotten this error 3 times in production, and successfully reviewed the cart dozens of times. Any ideas on what might be happening?

This is Rails 3.2.1 running on Ubuntu 10.04 with ruby 1.9.1.

Your routes only accept the POST method for /carts/review. A GET to /carts/review will be interpreted as /carts/:id, :id => "review" because there is no GET path for /carts/review specifically.
