    <p>In chapter 10 of railstutorial.org, I cannot delete users through the browser. All tests pass, including user deletion tests, but when attempting to delete a user as an admin through the browser pointed to localhost:3000, I am merely directed to the user's profile.</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to "delete", user, :method =&gt; :delete, :confirm =&gt; "Are you sure?", :title =&gt; "Delete #{user.name}" %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is the code used to generate the deletion link.</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %&gt; </code></pre> <p>has been included in the headers.</p> <p>I'm really stumped as to why this is happening. The logs for the server show a GET request for the user's info, as one would expect when being directed to the user page rather than destroying the user.</p> <p>Also, using <code>button_to</code> instead of <code>link_to</code> will delete a user, but won't confirm the action.</p> <p>EDIT: Adding routes.rb by request</p> <pre><code>resources :sessions, :only =&gt; [:new, :create, :destroy] resources :users match '/contact', :to =&gt; 'pages#contact' match '/about', :to =&gt; 'pages#about' match '/help', :to =&gt; 'pages#help' match '/signup', :to =&gt; 'users#new' match '/signin', :to =&gt; 'sessions#new' match '/signout', :to =&gt; 'sessions#destroy' root :to =&gt; 'pages#home' get "pages/home" get "pages/contact" get "pages/about" get "pages/help" </code></pre> <p>EDIT: application.js added by request</p> <pre><code>require jquery require jquery_ujs require_tree . </code></pre> <p>EDIT: users_controller.rb added by request</p> <pre><code>class UsersController &lt; ApplicationController before_filter :authenticate, :only =&gt; [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy] before_filter :correct_user, :only =&gt; [:edit, :update] before_filter :admin_user, :only =&gt; :destroy def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) @title = @user.name end def new @user = User.new @title = "Sign Up" end def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) UserMailer.pw_email(@user).deliver if @user.save sign_in @user flash[:success] = "Welcome to Sample App!" redirect_to @user else @title = "Sign Up" render 'new' end end def edit @title = "Edit User" end def update if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:success] = "Profile Updated" redirect_to @user else @title = "Edit User" render 'edit' end end def index @title = "All Users" @users = User.paginate(:page =&gt; params[:page]) end def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) @title = @user.name end def destroy User.find(params[:id]).destroy flash[:success] = "User destroyed" redirect_to users_path end private def authenticate deny_access unless signed_in? end def correct_user @user = User.find(params[:id]) redirect_to(root_path) unless current_user?(@user) end def admin_user redirect_to(root_path) unless current_user.admin? end end </code></pre>

    2. CO@stephenmurdoch I don't believe js is disabled. I have no idea about jquery-ujs I've tried using both `javascript_include_tag :defaults` and `javascript_include_tag :all` in the headers.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
