Question

In routes.rb:

resources :conversations, only: [:index, :show, :new, :create, :destroy] do
  collection do
    get :inbox
  end

In my controller:

def inbox
  <stuff>
end

In my view (using haml):

=link_to 'Inbox', inbox_conversations, :id => 'load-inbox', :class => 'message-control-highlight', :remote => true

I get the following error on page load:

undefined local variable or method `inbox_conversations' for #<#<Class:0x3d51470>:0x3d59198>

In my view, if I replace inbox_conversations with a “#”, I don’t get any errors on page load. I’ve tried appending inbox_conversation with likely classes, such as current_user and current_user.mailbox. I’ve also tried changing the routing from collection to member–and even taking it out of any collection/member block. What could be the problem here?

Answer 1

Try using inbox_conversations_path or inbox_conversations_url

=link_to 'Inbox', inbox_conversations_path, :id => 'load-inbox', :class => 'message-control-highlight', :remote => true
