I am sorry for asking what may be a remedial question, but in learning rails i was trying to follow along note for note in this tutorial:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
I posted a similar question from this tutorial last night and got a prompt response which helped me significantly, so I am hoping for the same. Thank you in advance.
Section 5.14: Deleting Posts
I am instructed to add a delete link to the index.html.erb page
<h1>Listing Posts</h1> <table> <tr> <th>Title</th> <th>Text</th> <th></th> <th></th> <th></th> </tr> <% @posts.each do |post| %> <tr> <td><%= post.title %></td> <td><%= post.text %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Show', post_path %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post) %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', post_path(post), method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td> </tr> <% end %> </table>
which generates:
<td><a data-confirm="Are you sure?" data-method="delete" href="/posts/1" rel="nofollow">Destroy</a></td>
It looks OK to me, but when I click on the link I get neither the confirmation nor am I directed to the delete action. It generates this HTTP action
Request URL:http://localhost:3000/posts/1 Request Method:GET Status Code:200 OK

Thank you again
Adding the application.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Listing</title> <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %> <%= javascript_include_tag :application %> <%= csrf_meta_tags %> </head> <body> <%= yield %> </body> </html>
which yielded this error:
ExecJS::RuntimeError in Posts#index Showing C:/Ruby-Projects/listing/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:
