Devise ActionController::UrlGenerationError when trying to load form_tag and controller action

Question

I am adding devise to my Rails 5 app and when I go to /users/sign_in I get this error:

No route matches {:action=>"email_signup", :controller=>"devise/jobs"}

The error is here:

<%= form_tag({controller: "jobs", action: "email_signup"}, method: "post") do %>
            <%= text_field_tag(:email_address, nil, placeholder: 'Email Address') %>
            <p><div class="button-wrap"><button data-dialog="maildialog" class="mailtrigger">Sign Me Up</button></div></p>
          <% end %>

Seems like devise is trying to look for the route in the context of devises own route. What is the best way to fix this?

Answer 1

This helped me out: rails form_tag url path

I changed the form_tag to use the route rather than specifying the controller and that fixed the issue:

<%= form_tag(email_signup_jobs_path, method: "post") do %>
    <%= text_field_tag(:email_address, nil, placeholder: 'Email Address') %>
    <p><div class="button-wrap"><button data-dialog="maildialog" class="mailtrigger">Sign Me Up</button></div></p>
<% end %>
