No route matches for destroy action

The destroy action is working for me in one part of my app, but I can't get it to work in a different view that is using a separate controller.

I am getting the error: No route matches {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"letsgo"}

View:

<% for letsgo in @letsgos %>
<li>
<b>Let's Go...<span class="content"><%= letsgo.content %></span></b> 
<%= link_to 'Delete', { :controller => 'letsgo', :action => 'destroy'}, 
                      { :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete, :remote => true} %>
<% end %>

Routes:

  resources :letsgos, only: [:create, :destroy]

LetsGos controller:

  def destroy
    @letsgo.destroy
    redirect_to root_url
  end

This code works if I am under the letsgos view: <%= link_to "delete", letsgo, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "You sure?" }%>

Destroy action works if I am working under the letsgos view, but I am working under a different folder it no longer works. What I am doing is listing all the content from the letsgos table, and providing a destroy action for each content.

Routes:

                letsgos_eatdrink GET      /letsgos/eatdrink(.:format)                   letsgos#eatdrink
             letsgos_listenwatch GET      /letsgos/listenwatch(.:format)                letsgos#listenwatch
                    letsgos_play GET      /letsgos/play(.:format)                       letsgos#play
                   letsgos_other GET      /letsgos/other(.:format)                      letsgos#other
                 letsgos_explore GET      /letsgos/explore(.:format)                    letsgos#explore
                   repost_letsgo POST     /letsgos/:id/repost(.:format)                 letsgos#repost
               interested_letsgo POST     /letsgos/:id/interested(.:format)             letsgos#interested
                                 GET      /letsgos(.:format)                            letsgos#index
                                 POST     /letsgos(.:format)                            letsgos#create
                      new_letsgo GET      /letsgos/new(.:format)                        letsgos#new
                     edit_letsgo GET      /letsgos/:id/edit(.:format)                   letsgos#edit
                                 GET      /letsgos/:id(.:format)                        letsgos#show
                                 PATCH    /letsgos/:id(.:format)                        letsgos#update
                                 PUT      /letsgos/:id(.:format)                        letsgos#update
                                 DELETE   /letsgos/:id(.:format)                        letsgos#destroy

THIS WORKS FOR me too! Just add DATA: before { :confirm..... } ...and the Confirm Delete Dialog works.

<%= link_to 'Delete', { :controller => 'letsgos', :action => 'destroy', :id => letsgo.id },
               data:  { :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete, :remote => true} %>

You are not passing the ID of the letsgo to the route:

<%= link_to 'Delete', { :controller => 'letsgos', :action => 'destroy', :id => letsgo.id }, 
                      { :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete, :remote => true} %>

As written in your paths:

letsgo DELETE   /letsgos/:id(.:format)                        letsgos#destroy

It's not tested, but should be like this
