I am following railscast 198 http://railscasts.com/episodes/198-edit-multiple-individually, trying to update it to rails 3, and am stuck with a routing error. The route http://localhost:3000/orders/edit_individual gives me the error:

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in OrdersController#show - Couldn't find Order with ID=edit_individual

I have updated and used his rails 2 routing

map.resources :products, :collection => { :edit_individual => :post, :update_individual => :put }

to the rails 3 convention as described by engineyard http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/the-lowdown-on-routes-in-rails-3/ (updated to my needs)

  resources :orders do
    collection do
      post :edit_individual
      put :update_individual
    end
  end

Here's what I've tried:

I've tried changing the routes resources as suggested by the answer to: Adding an action to an existing controller (Ruby on Rails) but the same error still shows. I've tried removing the cancan load and authorize resources, the 'resources :orders' route entry, as well as the 'show' entry in the controller, but another error indicates it's still trying to show a record with ID='edit_individual' instead of treating "edit_individual" like a route.

Here are my routes and controller,

myapp::Application.routes.draw do

      resources :products

      resources :roles

      devise_for :users #, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }

    #  match 'dashboard' => 'user_dashboard#index', :as => 'user_root'

      resources :orders do
        collection do
          post :edit_individual
          put :update_individual
        end
      end

      resources :orders   


class OrdersController < ApplicationController
    load_and_authorize_resource # cancan method

      def index
      end

      def show
      end

      def edit_individual #from railscast 198
        @orders = current_user.customer_orders
      end

      def update_individual
        @orders = Order.update(params[:orders].keys, params[:orders].values).reject { |p| p.errors.empty? }
        if @orders.empty?
          flash[:notice] = "Orders updated"
          redirect_to orders_url
        else
          render :action => "edit_individual"
        end
      end # ...etc.

I've removed the cancan methods, but is it the culprit still? I've tried everything I can think of and am at a dead end.. any ideas?

the output from command prompt:

You should probably run "rake routes" and see what route it gives for "edit_individual" action.

Also your log

Started GET "/orders/edit_individual" for 127.0.0.1 at Thu Jun 30 11:19:02 -0700

says that you are calling a post action as get.

Try below

  resources :orders do
    collection do
      get :edit_individual
      put :update_individual
    end
  end

OR either way you can use

<%= link_to 'Update Payments Received', edit_individual_orders_path, :method => "post" %>

  • Spot on. you have to make your form post...and don't forget the uber secret magical _method hidden input that the rails form helpers insert...this will override what you THINK you're setting on the form's method property – jaydel Jun 30 '11 at 18:41

So the error message: OrdersController#show - Couldn't find Order with ID=edit_individual tells me that for whatever reason you're being routed to the 'show' action, which is inherently expecting something like

/orders/1

meaning it's a member not a collection. Are you certain that the url being hit in your server output matches /orders/edit_individual?

  • I'm not certain.. I make some pretty dumb mistakes sometimes. See the edit in my post for the command prompt output and the route I used. – thejonster Jun 30 '11 at 18:25
