missing template rails problem with JSON rendering?

Question

Has anyone come across this error before? I've looked online and couldn't find much information, perhaps I didn't render my JSON correctly?

Missing template answer/results, application/results with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:raw, :erb, :html, :builder, :ruby, :coffee, :jbuilder]}. Searched in: * "/Users/Minhaj/Desktop/my_survey/my_survey/app/views" * "/Users/Minhaj/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.1/gems/devise-4.5.0/app/views"

Here is the code. If there is an error, help will be appreciated in fixing it.

  def create
    @answer = current_survey.answers.create(question_id: question, choice_id: choice)
    redirect_to question_survey_path(current_survey)
  end

  def results
    @choices = choices_hash
    @results = questions.map do |question|
      {
        question.question => CountChoicesService.call(question.id)
      }
    end
    respond_to do |format|

      format.html { render :nothing => true, :status => 204 }
      format.json { render json: @results }

    end
  end

  private

  def question
    @question ||= params[:question]
  end

  def choice
    @choice ||= params[:choice]
  end

  def choices
    @choices ||= Array.wrap(Choice.all)
  end

  def choices_hash
    choices_hash = {}
    choices.each { |choice| choices_hash[choice.id] = choice.choice }
    choices_hash
  end

  def questions
    @questions ||= Array.wrap(Question.all)
  end
end

I appreciate the help in advance.

You need to create a view named results.html.erb under answers namespace. You should have a directory structure like this app/views/answers/, go inside that and create results.html.erb — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna
Missing template answer/results. This means either you need to redirect in the results action, or create a view like I explained above. Usually, we redirect on success. — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna
I have a page for results.html.erb under answers directory like you said. How do I redirect however. Also what exactly do you mean by redirecting? — user10294084
There is a typo, your directory name is not answers it's answer.Change it to answers — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna

Here is how it should look like, controller name is plural

Under your controller directory, you should have this

# app/controller/answers_controller.rb
class AnswersController < ApplicationController
  def results
  end
end

Now in the views directory,the view namespace should be the same as the controller name.

# app/views/answers/results.html.erb
<h1>Check if this works</h1>

routes.rb

resources :answers do
  collection/member do
    get :results
  end
end
