Rails POST throws GET error

I have a rails link that's using the POST method: 

link_to "Run", forecast_run_path(@forecast), method: :post

to call a defined post route:

  resources :forecasts do
    post :run       
  end

The route appears in rake routes output as expected:

forecast_run POST   /forecasts/:forecast_id/run(.:format)                                   forecasts#run

And when I inspect the page, the expected post link appears in the page:

<a href="/forecasts/20/run" data-method="post" rel="nofollow" title="Run Forecast">Run Forecast</a>

In dev it works fine, and was good in production until sometime just a few days ago - I can't find any change that seems like it should have broken it. But when I click the link, I get the error ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/forecasts/20/run")

I agree that no GET route matches, but it should be using POST.

This is Ruby 2.1.5, Rails 4.2.0

To my own embarrassment and for the benefit of anyone else who has the same issue: As I switched among different clients, I didn't notice that on one of them NoScript in Firefox was blocking javascript on that site. Doh!

When you post a run, the form will direct you to the show action where it displays the newly posted run, in your case you don't have a show action for run, so implement a show action and should work fine.
