Rails 4 link_to Destroy not working in Getting Started tutorial

Question

I am working through the Getting Started tutorial (creating a Blog) and the link_to Destroy is not functioning properly. In the terminal it always interprets it as #SHOW. <

Answer 1

I had same problem. In my case, a i had change \app\views\layouts\application.html.erb file from

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

to

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    'default', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'default', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

to avoid my very first Rails problem. But it apparently mangled JavaScript execution and caused Destroy issue. Therefore rollback your \app\views\layouts\application.html.erb file to its original state, and treat this problem as here
