POrails 3 routing question (Routing Error "No route matches …")
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3 and I think I'm having a moderately simple problem with routing.</p> <p>I have a model called <code>AdvancedQuery</code>. Its controller is <code>AdvancedQueriesController</code>. <em>Almost</em> everything is done in the standard rails way except for the routing. I wanted to change the names of the URLs and I wanted to change a few other things (see below).</p> <p>Here is the relevant portion of my routes.rb file</p> <pre><code>get "advanced_query" => "advanced_queries#new", as: :new_advanced_query post "advanced_query(/:hash_value)(/:page)" => "advanced_queries#create", as: :create_advanced_query get "advanced_query/:hash_value(/:page)" => "advanced_queries#search", as: :advanced_query_search </code></pre> <p>Here is the behavior that I <strong>expect</strong> when working with AdvancedQuery:</p> <ol> <li>User goes to <a href="http://localhost:3000/advanced_query" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3000/advanced_query</a> (get request) and the browser invokes the "new" method in <code>advanced_queries_controller</code>. <code>new.html.haml</code> is rendered which shows the user a standard form to fill out.</li> <li>User then enters data into the search form and presses "Submit"</li> <li>"Submit" invokes the "create" method and creates an "AdvancedQuery" record in the database. The AdvancedQuery object has a 32-character hash associated with it that 1) identifies the query and 2) is used as part of the resulting URL (see step 4).</li> <li>The create method redirects to the "search" method where the AdvancedQuery object is used to search a 2nd model (called BusinessModel). The server then renders <code>search.html.haml</code> then shows the results of the AdvancedQuery and it re-renders the original form on the same page as the results in case the user wants to run a new search. The URL generated here is: <a href="http://localhost:3000/advanced_query/blah" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3000/advanced_query/blah</a> (where blah is a 32-character hash that's specifically associated with the query).</li> <li>Now the user enters a new search term using the form from the web-page generated in Step 3. He presses "submit" and the "create" method should be invoked again (i.e. we re-do Steps 3 & 4). i.e. Create a new AdvancedQuery.</li> </ol> <p>Here's what happens in reality:</p> <p>Steps 1 - 4 work as expected. Step 5 gives me a Routing Error <strong><code>"No route matches "/advanced_query"</code></strong></p> <p>Both the <code>new.html.haml</code> and the <code>search.html.haml</code> files render the same partial (called <code>_form.html.haml</code>).</p> <p>So, if I look at <code>_form.html.haml</code>, I don't really see anything wrong:</p> <pre><code>= form_for(@advanced_query, url: create_advanced_query_path) do |f| .actions # other generic form-related stuff </code></pre> <p>Here is the relevant portion of my controller</p> <pre><code> def new @advanced_query = AdvancedQuery.new end def create advanced_query = AdvancedQueryBuilder.build_advanced_query_from_post(request, params, current_user) redirect_to(advanced_query_search_path(hash_value: advanced_query.hash_value)) end def search return render :bad_request unless request.get? @advanced_query = AdvancedQuery.find_by_hash_value_and_user_id(params[:hash_value], current_user.id) @results = BusinessModel.advanced_search(@advanced_query) end </code></pre> <p>Any thoughts on what's causing my routing error?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

Querying!
