Rails HTML requests :Post but does a :Get

I have some code for attending/withdrawing from a competition:

<% if @competition.users.exclude?(@user)  %>
  <%= link_to 'Attend Competition', attend_competition_path(@competition.id), :method => :post %>
<% else %>
  <%= link_to 'Withdraw', withdraw_competition_path(@competition.id), :method => :post %>
<% end %>

When I click on the action I go to an error page:

No route matches [GET] "/competitions/1/withdraw"

Why isn't it doing a POST request? How do I fix this?

Not sure if it effects it, but my current js is

//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .

thanks

what is the generated html ? – Paritosh Piplewar Mar 02 '14 at 02:33
from inspector: Withdraw ///// excuse any typing errors as I couldn't copy/paste it – Marcus Mar 02 '14 at 02:37
put `//= require turbolinks` before `//= require bootstrap ` and then try. – Paritosh Piplewar Mar 02 '14 at 02:40
no luck with this solution – Marcus Mar 02 '14 at 02:52
Do you have javascript disabled in your browser? – usha Mar 02 '14 at 03:50
