Destroy action not being invoked

Rails
1

This is my index:

<td><%= link_to 'Remove', user,
    :class => "list-actions", :confirm => 'Are you sure?',
    :method => :delete %></td>

And this is my controller:

def destroy
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@user.destroy

respond_to do |format|
  format.html { redirect_to(users_url) }
  format.xml  { head :ok }
end

end

For some reason, when I click on the ‘Remove’ link, it directs me to the
‘Show’ action and does not destroy the item… strange ??

Thanks

Hi Justin,

The reason would be found in routes.rb. You can experiment, to good
effect,
with script/console.

@user = User.find(params[:id])
@user.destroy

respond_to do |format|
  format.html { redirect_to(users_url) }
  format.xml  { head :ok }

The delete action/method does not invoke the destroy method. If you
want
destroy, put it in the link. Unless you explicitly it in
config/routes.rb.
