Question

I’m trying to get the backbone.js DELETE request to fire, but don’t see any requests being made in my console.

I have collection model like so:

var Model = Backbone.Model.extend(
{
    urlRoot: '/test',
    defaults:{}
});

var TableList = Backbone.Collection.extend(
{
    url: '/test',
    model: Model
});

In my view I’m running this:

this.model.destroy();

Everything seems to be running fine, I can see output coming from the remove function that calls the destroy so I know it’s getting there plus it also successfully runs an unrender method that I have. Can’t see any requests being made to the sever though?

I found the issue to my problem, thought not a solution yet. I’m not sure this is a bug with backbone or not, but I’m using ajaxSetup and ajaxPrefilter. I tried commenting it out and it worked. I narrowed it down to the ajaxSetup method and the specifically the use of the data parameter to preset some values.
