I am working on rails using TinyMCE Imageupload.

It works just fine in Development (funny enough it used to work also in Production). The problem is that on production it issues the wrong GET request: 

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/at/tinymce_assets"):

Two issues here: Firstly - it puts a locale in front, secondly it uses a GET request.

On development however it works fine: 

Started POST "/tinymce_assets" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-09-27 02:33:10 +0200
Processing by TinymceAssetsController#create as HTML

My routes.rb looks like this: 

Rails.application.routes.draw do

  root to: 'static_pages#redirect'

  localized do

    match '',    to: 'static_pages#welcome', :as => 'welcome',    via: 'get'

    ... lots of other stuff ...

  end

  match '*path', to: redirect("/#{I18n.locale}/%{path}"), constraints: lambda { |req| !req.path.starts_with? "/#{I18n.default_locale}/" }, via: 'get'
  post '/tinymce_assets/' => 'tinymce_assets#create', :trailing_slash => false
end

I am adding here the :trailing_slash => false - as it is set to true in environment.rb

Question:

Why does the production to site decide to fire a GET request + adding the locale, but the development does everything its supposed to do? Where can I set this behaviour ?

UPDATE - ADDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

After placing the post above my localized section I still get the same error - here the full trace:

If I add uploadimage_form_url: "/tinymce_assets" (again the post is on top) the same happens, except that it is now looking for the localized version:

Solution to the problem:

As I am rewriting and existing site and must keep the URL standards I have to keep the trailing slashes (which I do in Rails).

In my nginx site configuration I rewrote the URL's with a trailing slash, which for some reason turned into a two day masacre of narrowing down the issue.

Removing the trailing slash in the URL rewrite in nginx configuration file solved the issue.

No jQuery sends POST requests again instead of GET requests !

Here for nginx (froala & tiny_mce and whatever you may use):

#Rewrite all URLs with missing slash and no period
    location / {
            rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
    }
    #Keep your post url untouched
    location /froala_upload {
            rewrite $1 permanent;
    }

    location /tinymce_assets {
            rewrite $1 permanent;
    }

You should swap the last match '*path' line and the post '/tinymce_assets/' line. That will probably take care of it, or at least get you a bit further.

Routes in Rails match from the top, so match '*path' matches a POST to /tinymce_assets, sees it doesn't have a locale added, and does the redirect, via GET. Your application never reaches the line for post '/tinymce_assets'.

  • It is true that it should be placed above match '*path' but it still fires a GET request - ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/at/tinymce_assets"): – Georg Keferböck Sep 28 '15 at 12:13
  • PS: In development it works- I checked with other installations I have done to perhaps find a difference inconfiguration. But nothing. On top of it - it used to work. The tests written only address the action in the controller and assume that it is POST request. arghhhh I spend a whole day on this now .... – Georg Keferböck Sep 28 '15 at 12:15
  • What if you place the `post '/tinymce_assets'` above the `localized`-block? If you can create a stripped-down app that has the same bug I can take a look at it for you. Have you changed `uploadimage_form_url` in the call to `.tinymce(...)` in your JavaScript? – PerfectlyNormal Sep 28 '15 at 14:10
  • Both did not help - I tried various ways to solve this last night. Re-did it again, no luck. I added additional information above that may help finding the issue. If you require any information - more than happy to assist. Please let me know if you want me ot attach files on github, etc. – Georg Keferböck Sep 28 '15 at 20:49

    Update - I don't think it is an issue with tinymce ... I just set up Froala - and it works fine on local but on my production it also sends a GET request instead of POST on image upload. :(((( – Georg Keferböck Sep 29 '15 at 03:24
