"Destroy" not working in production - Rails App

Question

I am fairly new to Rails. I am trying to launch a book review app into production. I loosely based it on an online tutorial. I have a button that supposedly will delete a "Book" entry from my app. I have a delete button on the book's show page. However, when I click to delete the book entry, it redirects to that books show page without doing anything. The button works perfectly in production.

I DID already precompile my assets. So I'm a bit confused as to what is going on.

Here is the Heroku log:

Johns-MacBook-Pro:BookApp johnseabolt$

Here is my books controller: class BooksController < ApplicationController before_action :authenticate_user!, only: [:new, :edit, :index, :show]

def index
    @books = Book.all
end

def new
    @book = current_user.books.new
end

def create 
    @book = current_user.books.build(book_params)
    if @book.save 
        redirect_to books_path
    else
        render 'new'
    end
end

def show
    @book = Book.find(params[:id])
    if @book.reviews.blank? 
        @average_review = 0
    else 
        @average_review = @book.reviews.average(:rating).round(2)
    end
end 

def edit 
    @book = Book.find(params[:id])
end

def update
@book = Book.find(params[:id])
if @book.update(book_params)
    redirect_to book_path(@book)
else
    render "edit"
end
end 


def destroy
    @book = Book.find(params[:id])
    @book.destroy
    if @book.destroy 
        redirect_to books_path
    else
        render 'show_books_path'
    end
end

private
    def book_params
        params.require(:book).permit(:description, :author, :category_id, :book_img, :title)
    end
end

Here is relevant portion of the book's show page:

    <div class="inner_left">
    <%= image_tag @book.book_img.url, :class => "book_show" %>  

        <div class="buttons">

            <% if user_signed_in? then %>
                <% if current_user.id = @book.user_id %>
                    <%= link_to "Edit", edit_book_path, :class => "btn_left" %>
                    <%= link_to "Delete", book_path(@book), method: :delete, :class => "btn_right", data: {confirm: "Are you sure?"} %>
                 <% end %>  
             <% end %>
             <br />
             <%= link_to "Back", root_path, :class => "btn" %>
             <br />

             <%= link_to "Add Review", new_book_review_path(@book) , :class => "btn_submit" %>
        </div>
    </div>

Here is the relevant section of my config/enivornments/prodection.rb file:

 config.assets.compile = true

Mark Dinesh below as correct, you need to change that method: :destroy in your link_to "Delete" in the view. — bkunzi01, Oct 03 '16 at 18:48
what about your application.js. Post your application.js and application.html.erb — dnsh, Oct 03 '16 at 19:06

change method: :destroy to method: :delete

instead of

<%= link_to "Delete", book_path(@book), method: :destroy, :class => "btn_right", data: {confirm: "Are you sure?"} %>

use

<%= link_to "Delete", book_path(@book), method: :delete, :class => "btn_right", data: {confirm: "Are you sure?"} %>

If this still does not work that means you are not loading JQuery-ujs. Make sure you have following contents in application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs

Apologies. I was fiddling around with "delete" vs. "destroy" in the button to see if it works. I actually originally had "delete." It still does not work. Thank you so much for the quick response! I edited my original post to reflect my code more accurately. Do you have any idea what this could be? – J Seabolt Oct 03 '16 at 18:58

In BooksController class, try to replace

only: [:new, :edit, :index, :show]

with

only: [:new, :edit, :index, :show, :destroy]

Check your application.js(app/assets/) and make sure you have these in exact order

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require_tree .

well boostrap one is not necessary.
