Unable to add method to menu_item block

[patrickgordon]

Using menu_item as a block & are unable to specify a method (e.g. delete)

Example:

<%= menu_group :pull => :right do %>
    <%= drop_down "#{current_user.full_name}" do %>
        <%= menu_item destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete do %>
            <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Sign out
        <% end %>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

Expected outcome for the is:

<a data-method="delete" href="/users/sign_out" rel="nofollow">
    <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i>Sign out
</a>

Actual:

<a href="/users/sign_out">
    <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Sign out
</a>

Hmm we have a test for this as well.. https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/blob/master/spec/lib/twitter_bootstrap_rails/navbar_helper_spec.rb#L110, but it isn't rendered in a dropdown. That shouldn't matter though...

[patrickgordon]

Weird... I can provide more info if you need it - just let me know.

[toadkicker]

Would you mind posting your gemfile? I just gave it a try in teststrap and it rendered as expected. I'll push up the code to the develop branch there so you can see it.

What happens if you comment out bootstrap_form?

[patrickgordon]

Do I need to re- bundle after commenting out?

[toadkicker]

Yes

[patrickgordon]

Negative... issue persists after commenting out bootstrap_form & re-bundling & restarting server.

[toadkicker]

https://github.com/toadkicker/teststrap/tree/develop

[toadkicker]

<%= menu_item destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete do %>

to <%= menu_item "Something", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete do %>

[toadkicker]

The first argument of menu_item expects a string for the text you want to show. If you don't want text to show (though I don't know when this would be the case) you can pass empty string.

[patrickgordon]

I added "Something" and got this: In the navbar:

<%= menu_item "Something", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete do %>
    <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Sign out
<% end %>

<a data-method="delete" href="Something" rel="nofollow">
    <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Sign out
</a>

[toadkicker]

Just added it to teststrap and got the method: :delete output as expected! So I don't think it is devise.

copy paste:

= menu_group :pull => :right do
   .form-group
     = menu_item 'Log Out', destroy_user_session_path, class: 'btn btn-primary btn-sm', method: :delete

[patrickgordon]

@toadkicker whilst that works it isn't for a block though. I'm using a block because I want to use a font-awesome icon in the button.

[toadkicker]

= menu_item content_tag(:i, '', :class => 'fa fa-refresh') + ' Log Out', destroy_user_session_path, class: 'btn btn-primary btn-sm', method: :delete

[patrickgordon]

Success! That works. However, doesn't explain why the original doesn't work but that's definitely an acceptable work around.

Up to you whether you want to close it or not.

Thanks a lot @toadkicker :+1:

[toadkicker]

Or as a block:

= menu_item destroy_user_session_path, class: 'btn btn-primary btn-sm', method: :delete do
              = content_tag(:i, '', :class => 'fa fa-refresh') + ' Log Out'

[toadkicker]

It's your ticket, if you're happy close it =D

[toadkicker]

Also in my PR for #802 I'm introducing icon helper, so this will be cleaner if you use it.

[patrickgordon]

Yeah I was gonna suggest that / was going to try make it. But looks like you got it covered. Cheers mate for the help.

[toadkicker]

https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/blob/master/app/helpers/navbar_helper.rb#L20 is calling for name if block_given?, so I believe that is forcing the method to accept name as a first param.
