POST Requests are mapped to my index action.

Hi all ! I've got a problem in my application. I've written a bug_reports controller. It is pretty RESTful, there are index, new and create actions. Everytime I submit a new bug_report, the index action is called, not the create action, you can see the log here: http://pastie.org/258857. My form looks like this: <fieldset id="bugreport"> <% form_for @bug_report, :url => bug_reports_path do |f| -%>   <div>     <%= f.text_field :title, :value => "Title" %>   </div>   <div>     <%= f.text_area :body %>   </div>   <div>     <%= f.submit "Submit", :disable_with => 'Submiting...' %>   </div> <% end -%> </fieldset>

My routes.rb contains this line: map.resources :bug_reports

And finally, my BugReportsController looks like this: class BugReportsController < ApplicationController   login_required   def index     @bug_reports = BugReport.all   end

  def new     @bug_report = BugReport.new   end

  def create     @bug_report = BugReport.new params[:bug_report]     if @bug_report.save       flash[:notice] = "Thank you for submitting this bug."     else       flash[:warning] = "Your bug report was not saved. Please try again."     end     redirect_to root_url   end end

This error doesn't occur in other parts of my app. I really don't know why this happens, I hope you can help me. Thank you very much in advance, Christoph

PS: I've written a small patch regarding options_from_collection_for_select. You can find it here: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/890-in-options_from_collection_for_select-text-value_method-are-chainable. I would be happy if someone would give me feedback on this.

Try using the following:

<% form_for(@bug_report) do |f| -%>

Good luck,

No, this doesn't help. The form seems to be correct regardless if I specify the url or not: <form id="new_bug_report" class="new_bug_report" method="post" action="/bug_reports">

Hi, I was able to get it working here without any issues. I built the application from scratch. Here’s the new.html.erb:

New bug_report

<% form_for(@bug_report) do |f| %>

<%= f.error_messages %>

<%= f.label :title %>

<%= f.text_field :title %>

<%= f.label :body %>

<%= f.text_area :body %>

<%= f.submit “Create” %>

<% end %>

<%= link_to ‘Back’, bug_reports_path %>

Don't you think the error is somewhere in the code handling the request. The form is generated correct, and it also sends the request correct to the server, with all parameters, as you can see in the log here: http://pastie.org/258857

Hi, try the following:

POST /bug_reports

POST /bug_reports.xml

def create

@bug_report = BugReport.new(params[:bug_report])

respond_to do |format|

if @bug_report.save

flash[:notice] = ‘BugReport was successfully created.’

format.html { redirect_to(@bug_report) }

else

format.html { render :action => “new” }

end

end

end

I don’t think that the request is correct because it should look like the following:

Your code is performing a GET instead of a POST. Thus, you’re hitting the index action instead of the create action.

Sometimes my router freaks out until I restart the server. It will default to :controller/:action, which has the effect of displaying "index", even though I POST-ed (which should route it to "create").

When stuff goes nutty, I always restart the server.

Thank you, I don't know why but routing is correct now. Restarting the server seemed to work.
