Question

my routes for a specific controller of my application are (i create them manually):

  scope :path => '/labor', :controller => :labor do
    get '/' => :index, :as => 'labor'
    post 'start/:work_hours' => :start, :as => 'start'
    post 'stop' => :stop, :as => 'stop'
  end 

I’m creating a form_tag, but i’m having problems passing the posted value. My form currently is :

  <%= form_tag start_path do %>
    <%= select_tag :work_hours, options_for_select([ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8" ], "1") %>
    <%= submit_tag "#{t 'labor.start_work'}" %> 
  <% end %>

I would expect that to work, but unluckily, it does not and i don’t understand why. I actually get a routing error No route matches {:controller=>”labor”, :action=>”start”}

Why is this happening and how can i fix it, so that the :work_hours is properly posted from the form ?

Answer 1

you can actually try

<%= form_for :start_labor do %>
    <%= select_tag :work_hours, options_for_select([ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8" ], "1") %>
    <%= submit_tag "#{t 'labor.start_work'}" %> 
<% end %>

then update your data n controller iwith params[:start_labor][:work_hours]. That worked fine for me
