Why isn't `link_to` going to the route I've specified

I have these routes from running rake routes:

     workstations POST   /workstations(.:format)      workstations#create
 new_workstations GET    /workstations/new(.:format)  workstations#new
edit_workstations GET    /workstations/edit(.:format) workstations#edit
                  GET    /workstations(.:format)      workstations#show
                  PUT    /workstations(.:format)      workstations#update
                  DELETE /workstations(.:format)      workstations#destroy
                  POST   /                            workstations#delete_history_and_queue

I have this link_to in my view:

= link_to "Update", controller: "workstations", method: "put"

Yet I'm getting this error:

No route matches {:controller=>"workstations", :method=>"put"}

Have I not specified for the link to use the workstations controller with the put method, which should, in theory, lead to the workstations#update action?

I think you want the following:

= link_to "Update", workstations_path, :method => :put

And it looks like you generated a singular resource in your routes.rb... was that intentional?

Try with

= link_to "Update", edit_workstations_path, :method => :put

OR

= link_to "Update", '/workstations', :method => :put
