custom action not appearing in UI

[Andy Kriger]

Hi,

I have a custom action but it does not show up in the UI.

If I put the action directly into the RailsAdmin configuration file it works, but storing it in a separate file in lib, I do not see it in the UI.

It's taken quite a bit of tinkering just to get it so that the server doesn't fail on startup because of bad configuration.

For example, the file had to be properly nested in lib and required in rails_admin.rb (which is not what the wiki says).

Can anyone help me figure out why the link isn't showing up on the List views?

thanks

In lib/rails_admin/config/actions/upload_file.rb

require 'rails_admin/config/actions'

module RailsAdmin

      class UploadFile < RailsAdmin::Config::Actions::Base
        RailsAdmin::Config::Actions.register(self)

        register_instance_option :link_icon do
          "icon-upload"
        end

        register_instance_option :collection? do
          true
        end

        register_instance_option :http_methods do
          %i[GET POST]
        end

        register_instance_option :controller do
          proc do
            puts "OH HAI HEY NOW"
            redirect_to "/admin"
          end
        end

This was failing because 

register_instance_option :http_methods do
  %i[GET POST]
end

needed to be

register_instance_option :http_methods do
  %i[get post] # lowercase
end

Opening a bug on this
