I need to call a simple controller action through my view using link_to.
In preferences > index.html.erb:
<%= link_to "My link", :controller =>
:preferences, :action => :produces_text %>
Note, I have also tried index.html.erb with this format with no luck:
<%= link_to "My link", {:controller =>
:preferences, :action => :produces_text } %>
In preferences_controller.rb:
def produces_text
puts "test"
redirect_to preferences_url
end
In routes:
resources :preferences do
member do
get 'produces_text'
end
end
"test" is not produced in the terminal when I click "My link" and I am not redirected to preferences_url either.
resources :preferences do
collection do
get 'produces_text', as: :produces_text
end
end
<%= link_to "Link", produces_text_preferences_path %>
