rails wicked gem redirect_to with params

Question

I'am struggling with adding a parameter to redirect_to using wicked I followed the Railscast and read the information on the github page but can't get it to work. I want to create a object plugin and after it is saved there should be the possibility to add stuff to it.

Here is what i got:

plugins_controller:

def create
  @plugin = Plugin.new(params[:plugin])
  if @plugin.save
    redirect_to plugins_steps_path, :plugin_id => @plugin.id
  end
end

plugins_steps controller:

def show
  @plugin = Plugin.find(params[:plugin_id])
  render_wizard
end

routes:

resources :plugins_steps

I never get any parameter to the show method in plugins_steps is there a way to solve this? I also tried several redirect_to methods like:

redirect_to :controller: "plugins_steps", :action => "show", :plugin_id => @plugin.id

or

redirect_to({:plugin_id => @plugin.id })

Thank you very much.

plugins_steps_path is the path for the index action. If you want the show action, use plugin_step_path (ie step must be singular). Run rake routes to verify this. Also, instead of calling the param :plugin_id , just use :id and update your show controller accordingly.
