RuntimeError: You should not use the `match` method in your router without specifying an HTTP method
ruby-on-rails
Solution
sounds like you have an issue in your `routes.rb` file. Probably the first thing to do is comment any line that you're using a `match` route in; or, as the error message suggests, add `via: [:get, :post]` to its options.
Such as:
match 'path', :to => 'controller#action', :via => [:get, :post]
Problem
I'm trying to run 'rails console' and I keep getting the following error message: in `normalize_conditions!': You should not use the`match`method in your router without specifying an HTTP method. (RuntimeError) If you want to expose your action to both GET and POST, add`via: [:get, :post]`option. If you want to expose your action to GET, use`get` in the router: Instead of: match "controller#action" Do: get "controller#action" I can't find the solution on Stack Overflow, what should I do? My routes.rb file is: ``` Myapp::Application.routes.draw do resources :users do member do get :following, :followers end end resources :sessions, only: [:new, :create, :destroy] resources :microposts, only: [:create, :destroy] resources :relationships, only: [:create, :destroy] root to: 'static_pages#home' # Named routes: match '/signup', to: 'users#new' match '/signin', to: 'sessions#new' match '/signout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: :delete match '/help', to: 'static_pages#help' match '/about', to: 'static_pages#about' match '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact' end ```
