Destroy action not being invoked

This is my index:

    <td><%= link_to 'Remove', user,         :class => "list-actions", :confirm => 'Are you sure?',         :method => :delete %></td>

And this is my controller:

  def destroy     @user = User.find(params[:id])     @user.destroy

    respond_to do |format|       format.html { redirect_to(users_url) }       format.xml { head :ok }     end   end

For some reason, when I click on the 'Remove' link, it directs me to the 'Show' action and does not destroy the item... strange ??

Thanks

Hi Justin,

The reason would be found in routes.rb. You can experiment, to good effect, with script/console.

The delete action/method does not invoke the destroy method. If you want destroy, put it in the link. Unless you explicitly it in config/routes.rb.
