jquery - Rails AJAX Missing Template Error with link_to Delete -

i trying ajax-ify type app , finished dealing problem create method (see [here][1]). delete method acting up, can't use previous solution (moving remote: true submit form_for line) because deletion done via link_to.

here's tasks#index action:

  def index     @create_task = task.new     @tasks = task.all     @one_time = task.where(frequency: "onetime", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @one_time_done = task.where(frequency: "onetime", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @daily = task.where(frequency: "daily", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @daily_done = task.where(frequency: "daily", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @weekly = task.where(frequency: "weekly", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @weekly_done = task.where(frequency: "weekly", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @monthly = task.where(frequency: "monthly", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @monthly_done = task.where(frequency: "monthly", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)   end 

and tasks#destroy action:

  def destroy     @one_time = task.where(frequency: "onetime", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @one_time_done = task.where(frequency: "onetime", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @daily = task.where(frequency: "daily", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @daily_done = task.where(frequency: "daily", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @weekly = task.where(frequency: "weekly", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @weekly_done = task.where(frequency: "weekly", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)     @monthly = task.where(frequency: "monthly", completed: false, user_id: current_user.id)     @monthly_done = task.where(frequency: "monthly", completed: true, user_id: current_user.id)      if @task.destroy         respond_to |format|           format.js           format.html       end     else       flash[:warning] = "oops! went wrong!"     end    end   [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45667684/ajax-with-rails-missing-template 

here delete link_to (from partial):

   <%= link_to task_path(task), method: :delete, remote: true %>         <i class="icon ion-close-circled" id=(task.id + "task") style="margin-left: 5px"></i>    <% end %> 

rendered on tasks/index.html.erb so:

<div id="onetime-todo"><%= render partial: 'items', locals: { task: @one_time } %></div> 

here's delete.js.erb:

$("#onetime-todo").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'items', locals: { task: @one_time }) %>") $("#onetime-done").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'done', locals: { task: @one_time_done }) %>")  $("#daily-todo").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'items', locals: { task: @daily }) %>") $("#daily-done").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'done', locals: { task: @daily_done }) %>")  $("#weekly-todo").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'items', locals: { task: @weekly }) %>") $("#weekly-done").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'done', locals: { task: @weekly_done }) %>")  $("#monthly-todo").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'items', locals: { task: @monthly }) %>") $("#monthly-done").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'done', locals: { task: @monthly_done }) %>") 

and irritating server log:

it bothers me error keeps occurring each method. deletion happen, necessitates refresh appear on page. see what's happening here?

you want delete.js.erb destroy.js.erb since action destroy, not delete.
