Ruby on Rails - Edit Update Action

I have a form that I wanna edit some informations, so I drew a get route for our edit form and a update route.

Routes.rb:

resource :guide_dog_forms

get '/cao-guia/:id/editar', to: 'guide_dog_forms#edit', as: :edit_guide_dog_form
put '/cao-guia/:id/', to: 'guide_dog_forms#update'

After that I edited my controllers, so i added the actions like these:

class GuideDogFormsController < ApplicationController

  def create
    @contact = GuideDogForm.new(params[:contact])
    if @contact.save
      GuideDogMailer.delay_for(10.seconds, retry: true).create(@contact)
      render nothing: true, status: 200
    else
      render nothing: true, status: 400
    end
  end

  def edit
    @guidedoguser = GuideDogForm.find(params[:id])
  end

  def update
    @guidedoguser = GuideDogForm.find(params[:id])
    @guidedoguser.update(name: params[:name], email: params[:email])
    redirect_to guide_dog_form_path(@guidedoguser)
  end

end

My current rake routes is like this:

guide_dog_forms POST - /guide_dog_forms(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#create
new_guide_dog_forms GET - /guide_dog_forms/new(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#new
edit_guide_dog_forms GET - /guide_dog_forms/edit(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#edit
GET - /guide_dog_forms(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#show
PATCH - /guide_dog_forms(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#update
PUT - /guide_dog_forms(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#update
DELETE - /guide_dog_forms(.:format) - guide_dog_forms#destroy

When I submit my edit form, the url rendered is localhost:3000/guide_dog_forms.80 (80 is the ID of form that I trying edit) and not that which I defined on my routes. Why this is happens? Anyone can help me? Thanks.

That's a by-product of your resource routes.

Try running rake routes. You should see the guide_dog_form_path route there with the output /guide_dog_form/:id, which explains the redirect. You may have to set up another named route and redirect there if you wish to override the behavior of the resource method.

Usually you would pass the singular version of the object to resource. i.e. resource :guide_dog_form or the plural to resources. i.e. resources :guide_dog_forms

Based on the code you've provided, I imagine your intent is: resources :guide_dog_forms

*FWIW, as of Rails 4 it's customary to use the PATCH verb instead of PUT to update records.
