I'm building an UI app that has no models, no database. It uses web-service calls for all of its business logic. I'm having an unbelievably difficult time getting the routing complete. I still have entities like workstations. I've declared in my routes resource :workstations which gives me these routes:
workstations POST /workstations(.:format) workstations#create
new_workstations GET /workstations/new(.:format) workstations#new
edit_workstations GET /workstations/edit(.:format) workstations#edit
GET /workstations(.:format) workstations#show
PUT /workstations(.:format) workstations#update
DELETE /workstations(.:format) workstations#destroy
but when I try to link to an update action like = link_to "Update", workstations_path, :method => :put I get No route matches {:controller=>"workstations", :method=>"put"}. Isn't that the route thats listed for the update action?
I'm wondering if I can't use traditional resourceful routes since I don't have ids. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
