The action could not be found for controller

Question

Having gone through my code I have a separate problem from my original question and rather than writing a new question. I will leave the old part at the bottom of this and post the new problem here. I do this because they are closely related.

New:

Im getting an error message saying

Unknown action

The action 'response' could not be found for CrawlerController

I'll keep it simple but the code for model, controller and routes are below in the previous question.

A basic run down is response is a def within CrawlerController as is add_Request. The routes are matched as such:

  match  "/requests/new" => "crawler#add_Request"
  match 'requests/:id' => 'crawler#response'   

Here is controller code as per user request:

class CrawlerController < ApplicationController
def add_Request
@request = Request.new(params[:request])

respond_to do |format|
  if @request.save
    format.html { redirect_to(@request, :notice => 'Request was successfully created.') }
    format.xml  { render :xml => @request, :status => :created, :location => @request }

  else
    format.html { render :action => "new" }
    format.xml  { render :xml => @request.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end
end

def response
  @request = Request.find(params[:id])
 respond_to do |format|
   format.html
   format.js { render :json => @request }
  end
end

def show
  @request = Request.find(params[:id])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # show.html.erb
    format.xml  { render :xml => @request }
    format.json{
      render :json => @request.to_json
    }
  end
end
 end

Answer 1

please recheck code of controller as I can see it

class CrawlerController < ApplicationController
  def add_Request
    @request = Request.new(params[:request])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @request.save
        format.html { redirect_to(@request, :notice => 'Request was successfully created.') }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @request, :status => :created, :location => @request }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @request.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end

    def response
      @request = Request.find(params[:id])
      respond_to do |format|
        format.json {render :@request.to_json}
    end
  end

so one end is missing an your response action is defined inside add_Request
