[SOLVED] Implementing AJAX - Part 2 - Add Friend jquery button not working...

After completing videos 1 and 2 of the Implementing AJAX portion, my Add Friend button does not work. I opened the Google Chrome Developer Tools and I observed:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

My server logs show

NoMethodError (undefined method json' for #<UserFriendship:0x007f94bbfe7de0>): app/controllers/user_friendships_controller.rb:62:inblock (2 levels) in create' app/controllers/user_friendships_controller.rb:50:in `create'

Rendered /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/actionpack-3.2.12/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/_trace.erb (1.0ms) Rendered /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/actionpack-3.2.12/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/_request_and_response.erb (0.9ms) Rendered /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/actionpack-3.2.12/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/diagnostics.erb within rescues/layout (7.8ms)

When I then click on Friends in the browser it says that the friendship request was sent. So, the request worked but the button does not.

Any ideas?

After checking:

app/controllers/user_friendships_controller.rb:62:inblock (2 levels) in create' app/controllers/user_friendships_controller.rb:50:in `create'

I found that in lines 62 of my user_friendships_controller.rb I had .json instead of .to_json

Should be this:

format.json { render json: @user_friendship.to_json, status: :precondition_failed }

but I had this:

format.json { render json: @user_friendship.json, status: :precondition_failed }
