I have a simple User model with a singular nested Profile resource so in my routes.rb I have:
resources :users do
resource :profile, :only => [:edit, :update, :show]
end
This generates the expected routes:
edit_user_profile GET /users/:user_id/profile/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"profiles"}
user_profile GET /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"profiles"}
user_profile PUT /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"profiles"}
I've created a simple controller update method that updates the model and then redirects upon successful update:
def update
@profile = Profile.find_by_user_id(params[:user_id])
@user = User.find_by_id(params[:user_id])
respond_to do |format|
if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])
format.html { redirect_to( user_profile_path(@user, @profile), :notice => 'Profile was successfully updated.') }
else
# ...
end
end
end
The problem is that once the form is submitted, the form redirects to mydomain.com/users/4/profile.22 where 22 happens to be the id of the profile. Clearly this confuses the controllers since the routing interprets the '22' as the format.
My question is, how do I get this to redirect to mydomain.com/users/4/profile instead? I've tried the following variations on the redirect_to statement to no effect, they all result in the same incorrect url:
redirect_to( user_profile_path(@user), ... )
redirect_to( user_profile_path(@user, @profile), ... )
redirect_to([@user, @profile], ... )
redirect_to( @profile, ... )
What's more, using 'user_profile_path(@user)' elsewhere produces the correct url.
Any ideas? Oh, and I'm using Rails 3.0.0 and Ruby 1.9.2 if that helps.
