Action not found

Closed this issue · 2 comments

It seems like the creation of the autocomplete action in my controller is not happening for me and I'm not sure why. Using rails 3.2.16 and rails3-jquery-autocomplete 1.0.14.

AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'autocomplete_service_name' could not be found for ScoresController):

application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require autocomplete-rails

model

class Score < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :score, :service_name, :core, :manual_lock, :lock_comment

  def self.search(search)
    if search
      where('service_name LIKE ?', "%#{search}%")
    else
      all
    end # if
  end # def search
end # class

controller

class ScoresController < ApplicationController
  autocomplete :score, :service_name, :full => true

  other code omitted...

routes

  resources :scores do
    get :autocomplete_service_name, :on => :collection
  end

rake routes | grep autocomplete
autocomplete_service_name_scores GET    /scores/autocomplete_service_name(.:format) scores#autocomplete_service_name

view

<%= autocomplete_field_tag 'service', '', autocomplete_service_name_scores_path %>

Any help would be appreciated.

Notice from the documentation (README),

Controller

To set up the required action on your controller, all you have to do is call it with the class name and the method as in the following example:

class ProductsController < Admin::BaseController
  autocomplete :brand, :name
end

This will create an action autocomplete_brand_name on your controller, don't forget to add it on your routes file.

resources :products do
  get :autocomplete_brand_name, :on => :collection
end

Notice in the sample how the autocomplete route is marked with both :brand and :name

Similarly, in your case you have autocomplete :score, :service_name, :full => true

From this you see that your route is setup incorrectly as

`get :autocomplete_service_name, :on => :collection`

rather it should look something like this

`get :autocomplete_score_service_name, :on => collection`

Hope this helps.

Doh, thanks for the quick reply. That fixed it!!
