缺少模板（应用程序找不到.js.erb文件）

Question

I'm trying to use a create.js.erb templete, located in /app/views/users/ but I get the following error:

Template is missing
Missing template users/create, application/create with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}. Searched in: * "/home/tim/fairym/app/views" 

My controller action, I base it on the following railscast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/381-jquery-file-upload

  def create   
    @user = User.create(params[:user])
  end

What is the problem here?

Answer 1

It's not expecting a js file. Add a respond_to block to your method:

def create
  @user = User.create(params[:user])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.js
    # add more 'format' calls for any other formats this method should ever respond to.
  end
end

Answer 2

I know this is already answered, but I had the same problem and error message, and solved it by adding "remote: true" to my form. You'll need this whenever submitting an ajax call on a form.

I know this is obvious to most, but not to newbies like myself who commonly forget these things.

For example:

<%= form_for([@club, @club_order], remote: true) do |f|  %>

Hope this helps.

The reason why it cannot find your template is because, if you notice on the railscast episode, he is doing an AJAX request for a datatype of script

$('#new_painting').fileupload
    dataType: "script"

So depending on how you are doing your link to the create action that link probably expects a html format to be rendered.

Template is missing
Missing template users/create, application/create with {:locale=>[:en], **:formats=>[:html]**, :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}. Searched in: * "/home/tim/fairym/app/views"

You can fix this by adding a render js to your action or if you are doing an ajax request make sure your datatype is set to script.
