Rails 6.1 form_with doesn't send PUT request

Question

I added the method: patch to the form_with helper (like it said to in this SO post)

<%= form_with(model: [:admin, contest], method: :patch) do |form| %>
  ...

and the <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="patch"> shows up (like it's supposed to) but then when I click "Submit", the request is still a POST request and I get the error

No route matches [POST] "/admin/contests/7"

May be this request from JS? – mechnicov Aug 26 '21 at 08:37 — mechnicov, Aug 26 '21 at 08:37

I had the same issue, and resolved it by changing it to:

method: "patch"

Update: You're right, "patch" and :patch do the same. I also added the url from my routes file:

model#update

I think I need some more info. What does your controller look like? What model is it? Have you tried specifying the model and the url in form_with?

wait `:patch` and `patch` result in the same thing for me, both add the hidden form input – Sticky Aug 26 '21 at 06:24
It doesn't matter. `"patch"` and `:patch` will work the same way – mechnicov Aug 26 '21 at 08:32
