Why Rails “link_to” does not work for delete action?

Question

In index.html.erb I display all products, and next to each product I have Edit and Delete actions:

<% @products.eac         


        

Answer 1

Do you have rails.js specified in a javascript_include_tag? This is required for the unobtrusive DELETE method to work. If you're using jQuery then there's a solution for that too.

Answer 2

I had same problem - actually I had changed my old 'delete' action to 'destroy' - but forgot If your using SSL.. (e.g ssl_required :destroy)

Answer 3

It needs to be product_path(product) instead of product in your delete link.

Answer 4

Dont forget to include jquery_ujs in your application.js file:

//
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
// ...
