Rails, HAML, using a link_to

Question

here's what I'm trying to do:

That 'Request Key: ' part should actually be a 6-digit value, e.g.

Request Key: 614551

And the 'PCN: ' part is similar, it should be:

PCN: MEDDAET

Clicking on MEDDEAT would open a route that would search on that MEDDEAT value in the :foo_bar column.

The code I'm trying isn't working, and I don't know enough HAML to know why.

  %li Request Key: = link_to #{@request.name}, request_path(@request.name)

and

  %li = link_to "request.pcn", :controller => filter_plans,  :q => {:plan_aliases_PlanAlias_cont => @pcn}}

As you can se, that code just renders as text, not a link. I'd appreciate help on what I'm doing wrong here with the HAML code.

EDIT: This is a HAMLC file. Coffeescript! GRRRRRR.....

both examples in the answers below should have worked. I think you have error elsewhere on this page. Can you remove this line and check if you still have the error. Also perhaps you can post the stacktrace — Rajesh Sharma, Jan 25 '16 at 19:26
The error appears to be in the coffeescript compilation of the hamlc file, and NOT in the code itself... — Mike Earley, Jan 25 '16 at 19:27

%li 
  Request Key: #{link_to @request.name, request_path(@request.name)}

this one, whether I put them on the same line or on separate lines (as you indicate) is giving me `SyntaxError: unmatched OUTDENT` – Mike Earley Jan 25 '16 at 18:51
In HAML you need to make sure that the indentation is correct. Please make sure that you use two space characters on each indentation level. – Tilo Jan 25 '16 at 19:44

@LucaDetomi How does this not provide an answer? It might be dead wrong, but it's not the kind of thing we should be deleting from review. – Undo Jan 27 '16 at 16:09

Use:

%li
  Request Key:
  = link_to @request.name, request_path(@request.name)

Here was the answer, because it was HAMLC, not HAML (i.e. it compiles through coffeescript and not Rails, therefore Rails helpers didn't work).

  %li Request Key:
    %a{ :href => '/requests/#{ @name }', :target => '_blank'} #{@name}
