Rails 3: ":method => :post" doesn't work... seems to be 'GET' when it should 'POST' -

i'm trying implement "friendship" in rails 3 app described in railscast 163:self referential assosication

i have set described. using basic user model logis in authlogic works fine. when try add friend using following link:

<% user in @users %>     <%=h user.username %>    <%= link_to "add friend", friendships_path(:friend_id => user), :method => :post %>      <% end %> 

i redirect http://localhost:3000/friendships?friend_id=2 , unknown action action 'index' not found friendshipscontroller error no further explanation. expecially strange since have hard coded redirect "user#show" method current user (i.e. redirect profile after adding friend).

if helps, here "friendships#create" method:

def create     @friendship = current_user.friendships.build(:friend_id => params[:friend_id])     if @friendship.save       flash[:notice] = "added friend."       redirect_to :controller => 'users', :action => 'show', :id =>'current_user'   else       flash[:notice] = "unable add friend."       redirect_to :controller => 'users', :action => 'show', :id =>'current_user'    end   end 

any idea causing this? found having similar problem here couldn't find definite fix: rails 3 , friendship models

thanks in advance help!

i think link_to put arguments query string creating html link if put :method => :post if js disabled.

you simulte post javascript :onclik event.

aniway , use link_to method :post generaly bad idea. in rails use button_to helper pourpose , style link.

edit:
in rails3 doc seems link_to have simulate same behaviur of button_to when called params :method=>:post

(dynamically create html form , submit form ).

but it's not true me in rails 3.0.3 if javascript enabled. investigate.

anyway you should using buttons , forms isn't get; hyperlinks intentionally don't allow methods other get

edit2: ok, rails3 don't create inline form simulate post request via link. in rails3 data-method=post attribute added tag manipulate via javascript function. way request gracefully degradate in call if js disabled.
