Question

This form to update a work item does not work anymore.

The form is generated in the erb file using a this command:

<%= form_for(@work_item, :url => admin_workitem_update_path) do |f| %>

The generated tag looks like this:

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/admin/workitem/define/14" class="edit_workitem" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="edit_workitem_14" method="put">
</form>

The route looks like this:

admin_workitem_update PUT    /admin/workitem/define/:workitem_id(.:format)

Follow-up: using :method => :post in the form tag works.

Why does rails generate the put method attribute?

Answer 1

NEVER use equal sign befor form. I have the same problem with Instant Rails implementation. The tutorial on rails documentation should be used without <&=

<%= form_for(@work_item, :url => admin_workitem_update_path) do |f| %>

use insteand:

<% form_for(@work_item, :url => admin_workitem_update_path) do |f| %>

this is all
