Unkown Action - The action could not be found for Controller - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

I've read a few similar questions/answers but cannot find any answers to my bug.
I have a form for entering hours for a job and one for editing an hours record. Both the add and edit share a partial as per Rails guidelines. My add (new) form works fine. When submitting the edit form, I get the error/bug:
Unknown Action
The action '11' could not be found for HoursController
I get no other output on this screen.
The url shown for these screens are:
http://localhost:3000/hours/11/edit
after submit:
http://localhost:3000/hours/11
The form tag for my edit form is:
<%= form_for(:hour, :url => {:action => 'update', :id => #hour.id}) do |f| %>
This should go to the 'hours' controller, to the 'update' action. Maybe there is something else wrong with my controller, but the add/new form works fine... confusing...
My Controller:
class HoursController < ApplicationController
before_filter :confirm_logged_in
def index
end
def list
if !params[:job_id].nil?
#hours = Hour.where(["job_id = ?",params[:job_id]]).date_sorted
else
#hours = Hour.date_sorted
end
end
def show
#hour = Hour.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#hour = Hour.new
end
def create
#hour = Hour.new(params[:hours])
if #hour.save
job = Job.find(params[:hours][:job_id])
flash[:notice] = "You have just entered hours for #{job.name}"
redirect_to(:action => "list", :job_id => params[:hours][:job_id])
else
flash[:notice] = "There were one or more problems with your form. Please try again!"
render('new')
end
end
def edit
#hour = Hour.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#hour=Hour.find(params[:id])
if #hour.update_attributes(params[:hour])
flash[:notice] = "You have just updated an Hours entry"
redirect_to(:action => "list", :job_id => params[:hours][:job_id])
else
render("edit")
end
end
def delete
#hour = Hour.find(id)
end
def destroy
Hour.find(params[:id]).destroy
flash[:notice] = "Hours Deleted Successfully!"
redirect_to(:action => 'list')
end
def search
if params[:job][:id]
#job = Job.find(params[:job][:id])
redirect_to(:action => "list", :job_id => #job.id)
end
end
end
My Routes file for the Hours section
resources :hours do
collection do
get :list
get :delete
end
end
Which gives me:
list_hours GET /hours/list(.:format) hours#list
delete_hours GET /hours/delete(.:format) hours#delete
hours GET /hours(.:format) hours#index
POST /hours(.:format) hours#create
new_hour GET /hours/new(.:format) hours#new
edit_hour GET /hours/:id/edit(.:format) hours#edit
hour GET /hours/:id(.:format) hours#show
PUT /hours/:id(.:format) hours#update
DELETE /hours/:id(.:format) hours#destroy
Any ideas in how to figure this out would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try like this
<% form_for #hours do |f| %>
or else
<% form_for :hours, :url =>
url_for(:action => "update", :id => #hours) do |f| %>

Answer 2

My situation was slightly different because I had a custom route, but it may help someone else (or future me).
I kept getting that error until I added the method: :post to the form params.
routes:
resources :hours do
member do
post :fix
end
end
html.erb
form_for #hour, url: fix_hour_path(#hour), method: :post do
...
end
