Nested icons and Rails' link_to or button_to are not working with SLIM

Question

Why doesn't this work?

 # Note the `do` block
 = button_to 'Accept', firefighters_approve_path(entry), class: 'button is-success' do
    i.fa.fa-thumbs-up

undefined method `stringify_keys' for String:0x007fec0bb7bcc8>

Why doesn't this work?

# Note no `do` block
= button_to 'Accept', firefighters_approve_path(entry), class: 'button is-success'
  i.fa.fa-thumbs-up

undefined method `stringify_keys' for String:0x007fec0bc86b40

I want to use slim and fontawesome. What am I missing here?

According to the documentation, it should be:

= button_to firefighters_approve_path(entry), class: 'button is-success' do
  i.fa.fa-thumbs-up
    |Accept

If you use a block, first argument should be a path and block contains name.

thanks. that helped. I used a pipe but I guess it's up to you – dsp_099 Feb 17 '16 at 11:30
Too bad `bulma.io` only groups tags, and not buttons :(( – dsp_099 Feb 17 '16 at 11:32
Interesting find, but I'm just not using bootstrap again for anything, ever again. Thanks again – dsp_099 Feb 17 '16 at 11:37

If you're using the font-awesome-rails gem, you'd be able to use the fa_icon helper:

= button_to fa_icon("thumbs-up", text: "Accept"), firefighters_approve_path(entry), class: 'button is-success'
