Ruby on Rails Application Page Does Not Exist in Heroku Production Environment

Question

In my app during testing on localhost I am able to click on a link that brings me to the edit_event_path(event) page and it works perfectly.

When I pushed it to Heroku I keep getting the error "This page does not exist" however I am still able to access the /event index page.

It only appears to be for the edit page.

My routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :approvals
  devise_for :users
  resources :events

  resources :roles
  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes".

  scope "/admin" do
    resources :users do
      collection do
        match 'update_collection', via: [:put, :patch]
      end
    end
  end
  # You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
  root 'events#index'

  # Example of regular route:
  #   get 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view'

  # Example of named route that can be invoked with purchase_url(id: product.id)
  #   get 'products/:id/purchase' => 'catalog#purchase', as: :purchase

  # Example resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
  #   resources :products

  # Example resource route with options:
  #   resources :products do
  #     member do
  #       get 'short'
  #       post 'toggle'
  #     end
  #
  #     collection do
  #       get 'sold'
  #     end
  #   end

  # Example resource route with sub-resources:
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments, :sales
  #     resource :seller
  #   end

  # Example resource route with more complex sub-resources:
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments
  #     resources :sales do
  #       get 'recent', on: :collection
  #     end
  #   end

  # Example resource route with concerns:
  #   concern :toggleable do
  #     post 'toggle'
  #   end
  #   resources :posts, concerns: :toggleable
  #   resources :photos, concerns: :toggleable

  # Example resource route within a namespace:
  #   namespace :admin do
  #     # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
  #     # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
  #     resources :products
  #   end
end

I am not sure if any other logs or such are required to answer my question but if you comment I will provide them! Thank you!

Answer 1

Your code looks fine - it's likely there's no Event with ID 1. Either you haven't created any in production yet, or you already deleted it. /events/1 will probably 404 as well.

Go to /events/new to create an Event . You can also log into your Heroku database with heroku pg:psql (assuming you have the toolbelt installed) and SELECT id FROM events to verify which IDs are present.

You're also loading @user using params[:id] , which is the Event 's ID. If a User doesn't exist with the same ID as the Event , Rails raises the same RecordNotFound exception, which is what comes back to you as a 404. It looks like you've got login on this application, so you probably want to be loading that from session[:user_id] , via Devise, or however else you built authentication.
