    text
    copied!<p>New to ruby, i've stumbled into the following issue while trying to execute a SH script from within a view (index.html.erb). I have done the following:</p> <p>app\views\tests\index.html.erb</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to 'Run it', :action=&gt;'callthis' %&gt; </code></pre> <p>app\controllers\tests_controller.rb</p> <pre><code>def callthis puts "I was called!" # system call here end </code></pre> <p>I'm getting the following error</p> <pre><code>ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches {:action=&gt;"callthis", controller=&gt;"tests"}): app/views/tests/index.html.erb:20:in `_app_views_tests_index_html_erb__911976670__617626598' app/views/tests/index.html.erb:4:in `each' app/views/tests/index.html.erb:4:in `_app_views_tests_index_html_erb__911976670__617626598' app/controllers/tests_controller.rb:7:in `index' </code></pre> <p>Edit: Routes</p> <pre><code>tests GET /tests(.:format) tests#index POST /tests(.:format) tests#create new_test GET /tests/new(.:format) tests#new edit_test GET /tests/:id/edit(.:format) tests#edit test GET /tests/:id(.:format) tests#show PUT /tests/:id(.:format) tests#update DELETE /tests/:id(.:format) tests#destroy </code></pre> <p>Edit 2: Thanks Zippy, I see hello is output, however, it also gives me the following error:</p> <pre><code>Hello Started GET "/tests/callthis" for 10.10.9.141 at Wed Mar 13 16:29:22 -0400 2013 Processing by TestsController#callthis as HTML Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 6ms ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template tests/callthis, application/callthis with {:handlers=&gt;[:erb, :builde :formats=&gt;[:html], :locale=&gt;[:en]}. Searched in: * "/mnt/wt/ruby/wtrorp/app/views" ): </code></pre> <p>Edit 3:</p> <p>From the 'tests' view, I am only looking to execute the 'callthis' defined in the 'testscontroller'. That def will just be a system call to execute an SH script, and redirect to the output file it generates to the filesystem. I am looking to pass it two args: a string (which is in the test object 'test.script') and an id (which i want to pull from the browser session). I realize the problem just got a lot harder and will update the header question to reflect it :D</p> <pre><code>system(./callthis.sh test.script $my_id_var) </code></pre> <p>Edit 4:</p> <p>I am looking to generate a file from the sh script, and redirect to a static. The static page will catch a variable, and know which file the sh script generated, so that it may display it in a frame of that static page. Maybe out of the context of this question, but can someone point me in the right direction?</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your time!</p>
