Rodolphe Geant

Dear All,

My name is Rodolphe, I am a new member of Go Rails. I've fell I love with Rails a year ago! but gosh I so struggle sometimes to comprehend what I'm doing :( . Anyway here is my question.

I have a simple search form in my navbar that runs a search in the :address column of my Users table through the jobs_path (nested resources):

Here is the form:

here is the routes file:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
get 'static_pages/home'
get 'static_pages/faq'
get 'static_pages/about'
get 'static_pages/cgu'
root 'static_pages#home'
get '/faq', to: 'static_pages#faq'
get '/about', to: 'static_pages#about'
get '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact'
get '/cgu', to: 'static_pages#cgu'
get '/signup', to: 'users#new'
get '/login', to: 'sessions#new'
post '/login', to: 'sessions#create'
delete '/logout', to: 'sessions#destroy'

resources :users, only: [:show, :index]
resources :jobs
resources :users do
resources :jobs
end
end

The user model shows:
has_many :jobs, dependent: :destroy

And the Job model:
belongs_to :user

My Jobs controller shows:

def index
@jobs = if params[:address]
Job.joins(:user).where(users: { address: params[:address].downcase
}).paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 4)
else
@jobs = Job.paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 4).order('id DESC')
end
end

rails routes shows:

Yes, the jobs: route is there twice as I need to access the Jobs actions for visitors (outside of Devise).

My problem is, that the request gets lost in routes and sometimes goes to the wrong controller. If I'm on the Jobs#index page : http://localhost:3000/jobs and run a search for a city like "Nantes". The query runs fine:

            Started GET "/jobs" for 127.0.0.1 at 2017-11-16 10:47:07 +0400
            Processing by JobsController#index as HTML
            Rendering jobs/index.html.erb within layouts/application
            (0.4ms)  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "jobs"
            Job Load (0.4ms)  SELECT  "jobs".* FROM "jobs" ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $1 .......................

If I'm running the query from my root page ie: StaticPagesController, the query is sent to StaticPagesController and NOT to JobsController:

            Started GET "/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&address=Nantes&commit=Rechercher" for 127.0.0.1 
            at 2017-11-16 12:11:48 +0400
            Processing by StaticPagesController#home as HTML
            Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "address"=>"Nantes", "commit"=>"Rechercher"} ..................

How do I make sure the query is always sent to the correct controller, regardless of where I am?
Sorry for the looong question!
I hope someone has a solution....Thank you in advance
