missing template during ajax call in rails

Question

I am getting the following error * Missing template quizzes/prev_question, application/prev_question with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :coffee, :jbuilder]}. Searched in: * "/home/ubuntu/workspace/app/views" * "/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/gems/devise-4.2.0/app/views"*

In my view

<%= form_tag(prev_question_path(:id =>@quiz.id), method: 'post', remote: true, :format => 'js') do %>
   <%= hidden_field_tag :authenticity_token, form_authenticity_token %>
    <%= submit_tag("Prev",:class =>"btn btn-success") %>

In my controller

  def prev_question
    @quiz = Quiz.find(params[:id])
    @question = @quiz.questions.order! 'created_at DESC'.first
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html {}
      format.json {}
    end

I have created a prev_question.js.erb file

<% if !@question.option1.nil?%>
    $('#multiple-choices').show();
    $('#true-false').hide();
    $('#short-question').hide();
    $('#question_option1).val('<%= @question.option1%>')
    $('#question_option2).val('<%= @question.option2%>')
    $('#question_option3).val('<%= @question.option3%>')
    $('#question_option4).val('<%= @question.option4%>')
<%elsif !@question.anst.nil?%>
    $('#multiple-choices').hide();
    $('#true-false').show();
    $('#short-question').hide();
<%elsif !@question.anss.nil? %>
    $('#multiple-choices').hide();
    $('#true-false').hide();
    $('#short-question').show();
<%end%>

Everytime I get the error that missing template, kindly let me know what I am doing wrong I have looked over quite a few questions on stackoverflow but no solution worked

What is the exact error you got? Please post it in the question. — Pavan, Nov 24 '16 at 04:41
try removing the `format js` from the view and add `respond_to do |format| format.js end` — Sravan, Nov 24 '16 at 05:44

Try this one

You need to respond to the js format when you make an ajax call.

def prev_question
    @quiz = Quiz.find(params[:id])
    @question = @quiz.questions.order! 'created_at DESC'.first
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html {}
      format.json {}
      format.js
    end
end

You can probably skip the `render file...` if your file is named `prev_question.js.erb`. – Ryenski Nov 24 '16 at 04:47
its not working I have tried adding format.js , same error – Muhammad Hamza Altaf Nov 24 '16 at 04:58
@MuhammadHamzaAltaf Can you post the log when you submit the form.? So that we can know the format expected by rails is js or HTML. – Bala Karthik Nov 24 '16 at 05:02

It looks like your prev_question is only for AJAX, right? Then why not just do this?

respond_to(:js)
