Hi guys, I'm having this problem with a simple route. I have this on my routes.rb resources :items do member do post 'price' end end
However, when I try to post to this route, I get this error:
Started POST "/items/28/price" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-02-20 18:52:10 -0300
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/items/28/price"):
Does anyone have any idea what am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Phil

First check: is this route listed when you do rake routes | grep price ?

Yes, it is. This is the output [kandalf@bifur depot]$ rake routes | grep price price_item POST /items/:id/price(.:format) {:action=>"price", :controller=>"items"}

price_item POST /items/:id/price(.:format){:action=>“price”, :controller=>“items”}
… that’s crazy, then. The route is there, looks to be configured just fine. No reason you should get a “no route matches” error, that I can see. In development mode you shouldn’t even need to restart the server, but you could always try that.
From what you’ve posted so far, I can’t see that you’re doing anything wrong. Not sure why it wouldn’t be working.
try calling it using:
curl /items/:id/price.html or price.json as needed.
format is needed when you call a route from outside without using named_path route.
hope this helps.

That didn't work either, but I think that's because curl is requesting a GET and the route is a POST. I don't know what's going on. Everything seems to be in the right place.
curl -X POST /items/:id/price.html or price.json

Second check: Confirm that your form really does have method=POST.
Yes, it does. Anyway, I've just changed it to use the update action, it makes more sense anyway. However, I still don't understand why it is happening.

Something I should have been more clear about: you want to make sure that your form element has its method attribute set to post, but you will also need to check that it does not have a hidden parameter generated by rails named _method with a value of, e.g. put.
Unfortunately when you make this mistake of specifying a post route in config/routes but accidentally submitting to a synthetic "put" (very easy to do if using +form_for+), the log will still read “Started POST” and you will be given no indication of the problem.

Wow - THANK YOU! I would have been scratching my head for hours on this one. Very non-obvious, and seemingly not well known.
