Weird issue with rails link_to button-CodePudding

I have a rails link I'm trying to add into a dropdown and it is acting weird and I can't figure out why.

I have pasted the code block below:

<%= link_to edit_profile_post_path(article.profile, article.post), :class => "dropdown-item" if article.post.present? do %>
   <div class="flex">
      <div class="w-5 mr-2 flex items-center justify-center">
         <i class="text-inherit fal icon-sm fa-trash-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i>
      </div>
    Edit Post
  </div>
<% end %>

When I preview the dropdown I see the link path instead of the words "Edit Post":

Buts what stumps me even more is that when I hover over the link, it is actually:

http://localhost:3000/profiles/gerard-donnelly?class=dropdown-item

The original code that works fine is:

<%= link_to 'Edit Post', edit_profile_post_path(article.profile, article.post), class: 'dropdown-item' if article.post.present? %>

Would really appreciate any help on fixing this.

CodePudding user response：

You are putting the condition on the wrong side of the call. If it was pure ruby, this would look like

link_to(path, class: 'klass') if article.post.present? do
  'content'
end

The do/end block is passed to the present? method, which is not what you want. Instead:

link_to(path, class: 'klass') do
  'content'
end if article.post.present?

will work. Translating back to ERB:

<%= link_to edit_profile_post_path(article.profile, article.post), :class => "dropdown-item" do %>
   <div class="flex">
      <div class="w-5 mr-2 flex items-center justify-center">
         <i class="text-inherit fal icon-sm fa-trash-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i>
      </div>
    Edit Post
  </div>
<% end if article.post.present? %>
