Doesn't set form method :put for edit controller action

[igormisha]

The documentation sais that form method is set automatically but I have edit action in the controller:

  def edit(conn, %{"id" => id}) do
    resume = Hr.get_resume!(id)
    form = create_form(ResumeType, resume)
    IO.inspect form.struct.id
    IO.inspect form.method
    render(conn, "edit.html", resume: resume, form: form)
  end

And in the console it gives me form.struct.id=1 and form.method=nil and of course the form is sent by post method and is rejected by the router.

For now I add the method :put to the form manually: form = %{form | method: :put}

It helps but why it's not set automatically?

Same here, after some debugging it seems that the builder inside formex_ecto isnt called.

Sorry for waiting so long, I forget about this issue. Thanks @reneweteling for posting.

Are you sure that the builder from formex_ecto isn't called? Maybe there is another problem. In this builder there is:

method = if form.struct.id, do: :put, else: :post

Maybe you don't have an id field or it's empty?

I have checked this on my dev project and I have no problem:

def edit(conn, %{"id" => id}) do
  category = Repo.get!(Category, id)
  form = create_form(App.CategoryType, category)
  IO.inspect form.struct.id
  IO.inspect form.method # <---------- :put

  render(conn, "edit.html", category: category, form: form)
end

Generated HTML:

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/categories/1" method="post">
  <input name="_method" type="hidden" value="put">
  ...

It sends POST with hidden value _method = put
