http DELETE and roar

[Jose Alberto Suárez López]

Hello,

I'm just testing ROAR (& roar-rails) for an rails4 based API and I'm having a small problem trying to implement the DELETE verb.

I'm trying something like this:

DELETE /users/ID/items/ID

def destroy

    user = User.find(params[:user_id])

    user.items.find(params[:id])

    respond_with user

end

But I got this error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `head' for #<API::ItemsController:0x00000006c3b9e0>):

  app/controllers/api/litems_controller.rb:23:in `destroy'

Is this the best way to implement a DELETE command?

I'm tempted to do something like:

render json: { status: 'ok' }

TIA

I haven't used rails 4, but this doesn't look related to roar. Which one is line 23? Also, the code that actually deletes the item is missing.

FWIW, on successful delete actions I return 204 (`render nothing: true, status: 204`)

'respond_with user' is the line 23

So you are right, return a 204 looks more correct

Are you using roar-rails as well, or just roar? Also, could you post the entire stack trace in a gist? That's as far as I can help, but Nick should be able to look into it further.

Hi guys! That's definitely not Roar, looks more as if Rails does fun stuff. You should do what Andrés says (as always)!
