Question

I seem to have two problems

1) While trying to update my singular nested resource

Restaurant has_one Hour

and

Hour belongs_to Restaurant

resources :restaurants do
  resource :hour
end

with an edit link on my restaurant show page called:

<%= link_to 'Set Hour', edit_restaurant_hour_path([@restaurant, @restaurant.hour]) %>

and the edit page has a partial render that looks like:

<%= render :partial => 'restaurants/hours', :locals => { :hour => 'hour' } %>

which loads a partial named _hours.html.erb:

<%= form_for hour do |f| %>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span1 hours_input">
  <h3>Monday</h1>
  From
  <%= f.text_field :from_monday, :class => 'span20 hour_field'  %>
  To
  <%= f.text_field :to_monday, :class => 'span20 hour_field'  %>
</div>
<div class="span1 hours_input">
  <h3>Tuesday</h3>
  From
  <%= f.text_field :from_tuesday, :class => 'span20 hour_field' %>
  To
  <%= f.text_field :to_tuesday, :class => 'span20 hour_field'  %>
</div>
<div class="span1">
  <%= f.submit 'Set Hours' %>
</div>
</div>

but once I press the submit button it gives me the error:

No route matches [POST] "/restaurants/34/hour/edit"

I tried setting it as:

<%= form_for hour, :method => put, :html => { :action => 'update' } do |f| %>

but with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m using rails 3.2.3

2) My second problem is rather mysterious.

Once I press on the button

<%= link_to 'Set Hour', edit_restaurant_hour_path([@restaurant, @restaurant.hour]) %>

on the restaurant show page, it’ll give the url:

http://localhost:3000/restaurants/34//hour/edit

with the double slash before //hour. I suspect this will break in production but doesn’t seem to affect me in development.

Again, thanks for reading and have a good one!

Edit: Here’s the rake routes–

  restaurant_hour POST   /restaurants/:restaurant_id/hour(.:format)      hours#create

 new_restaurant_hour GET    /restaurants/:restaurant_id/hour/new(.:format)       hours#new

Answer 1

I figured it out, but it’s apparently not the RESTful way to do it.

I just had to add:

<%= form_for hour, :url => { :action => "update" }, :html => { :method => 'put' } do |f| %>

and specify the action/method for the update to work.

Another post suggested that just using:

<%= form_for @hour do |f| %>

would have worked, too, but I wasn’t having any luck with that for some reason.
