ActionController: No route matches

I have problem with action in my controller - when I call link_to in view with destroy action there is an error:

ActionController::UrlGenerationError

No route matches {:controller=>"user_votes", :action=>"destroy", :recipient_uid=>2911238}

routes:

App::Application.routes.draw do

  devise_for :users, :controllers => { :omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks" }
  resources :users
  resources :votes 
  resources :user_votes
  root 'main#home'

end

user_vote_controller:

class UserVotesController < ApplicationController

    def destroy
        @user_vote = UserVote.find_by(params[:recipient_uid])
        @user_vote.destroy
        redirect_to root_url
    end

end

view file:

 = link_to 'Delete', {controller: "user_votes", action: "destroy", recipient_uid: friend.uid}, method: "delete"

Can you show me where I made a mistake?

Thanks!

The resource url for the destroy function is actually 'user_votes/:id'. So you need to pass in the :id parameter when you call the link_to helper

 = link_to 'Delete', {controller: "user_votes", action: "destroy", recipient_uid: friend.uid, id: some_id}, method: "delete"

Replace some_id with the actual resource id.
