Rails :method=>:patch doesn't work

Question

So, I have this form declaration:

<%= form_for 'students_list', {:url => update_students_list_stream_url(@stream), :method=>:patch}  do |students_list_form| %>

Just as described in API docs, but this leads me to error:

No route matches [POST] "/streams/26/edit-students-list"

So it still tries to post, even though my HTML input has:

<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="patch" />

From Rails guide:

Rails works around this issue by emulating other methods over POST with a hidden input named "_method", which is set to reflect the desired method:

I'm quite confused
