In my rails app I have a model Song. On one of the user's profile pages user_music_path(@user) I'm rendering all of their songs.
People can also like these songs, which is set up and working, I just want to use AJAX instead of page refreshes. The problem I'm having is when using ajax, I get the error undefined local variable or method "song" when I'm clicking the link "like".
Here is some of my code:
User's Music Page views/users/music.html.erb
...
<ul class="playlist list-group">
<%= render @songs %>
</ul>
views/songs/_song.html.erb
<li class="list-group-item">
<p class="pull-right">
<%= render :partial => 'songs/like_button', :locals => {:song => song} %>
<%= render :partial => 'songs/likes', :locals => {:song => song} %>
</p>
</li>
views/songs/_like_button.html.erb
<% if current_user.voted_on?(song) %>
<%= link_to "Unlike", unlike_song_path(song), :method => :post, :remote => true %>
<% else %>
<%= link_to "Like", like_song_path(song), :method => :post, :remote => true %>
<% end %>
views/songs/_likes.html.erb
<%= song.votes.count %>
views/songs/like.js.coffee
$("p.pull-right").html('<%= render :partial => "songs/like_button", :locals => {:song => song} %><%= render :partial => "songs/likes", :locals => {:song => song} %>');
controllers/songs_controller.rb
def like
begin
@vote = current_user.vote_for(@song = Song.find(params[:id]))
@vote.save
respond_with @song.user, :location => user_music_path(@song.user)
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
redirect_to @song
end
end
And as mentioned earlier, the :like action worked perfectly before I starting using AJAX. I've also added respond_to :html, :js to my songs_controller. And the error I get when I try to like the song is ActionView::Template::Error (undefined local variable or method "song" for #<#<Class:0x000001028de9d0>:0x00000106ecd9f0>):
