WHAT USER STORY YOU ARE WORKING ON:

I am working on the user story "As a user, I want to input starting location, distance, bar price and find a random bar with those parameters"

I am working on the search-parameter branch.

WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO:

I am trying to make a call to my api with my search parameters using backbone and rails.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE BUG/ERROR:

I am passing the search parameters from my front end forms to my search route in rails but I am getting a server error.

GET http://localhost:3000/venues/explore?near=new%20york&radius=15000&price=2 500 (Internal Server Error)

Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'application#index'
get 'venues/explore' => 'bars#search'

class BarsController < ApplicationController
def search
bar_results = Bar.find_bar(params[:near][:distance][:bar_price])
render json: bar_results
end
end

WHAT I'VE TRIED

I doublechecked that my server is working correctly by manually entering a URL to hit my server's search route in my URL bar, and confirmed that my server is ok. The URL I tested with is localhost:3000/search?search=potatoes.

I also manually called App.searchResultsCollection.search('potatoes') in my console to test my collection alone. This also worked, as App.searchResultsCollection.models gave me an array of search results.

I inserted a debugger in my searchFormView's searchAPI function to attempt to take a look at whether the search term was being grabbed correctly, but my debugger was never being triggered.

QUESTION

If my server and my collection are ok, then I believe the problem may be with my view, but I am unable to find it. Why is my click event listener not being attached to the search button correctly?

GET http://localhost:3000/venues/explore?near=new%20york&radius=15000&price=2 500 (Internal Server Error)

The files involved in my search form are my Bars Controller, Bars Model, routes and my Bars Collection Below is the code for each.

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  root 'application#index'
get 'venues/explore' => 'bars#search'

class BarsController < ApplicationController
  def search
    bar_results = Bar.find_bar(params[:near][:distance][:bar_price])
    render json: bar_results
  end
end

App.Collections.Bars = Backbone.Collection.extend({

  model: App.Models.Bar,

  searchUrl: function (near, distance, bar_price){
  //api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore?ll=40.7,-74&client_id=BNAPSUX5Q2VGUM2JOAQGHXHGCK5WGGHWQPF2VWKZJG5XLKUL&client_secret=F4OSS11HXEOPZP41WPYYXDSV2NHR2BYZGZWNX44OJ3PEBLZ0&v=20150401&section=drinks&limit=5&radius=15000&price=2

  // var near = $('#near').val();
  // var distance = $('#distance').val();
  // var bar_price = $('#bar_price').val();

  return '/venues/explore?near=' + encodeURI(near) + '&radius=' + encodeURI(distance) + '&price=' + encodeURI(bar_price) 
  },

  search: function (near, distance, bar_price){
    $.getJSON(this.searchUrl(near, distance, bar_price))
    .done(this.reset.bind(this))
  }

});

class Bar

  BASE_URL = "https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore"

  CLIENT_ID = "BNAPSUX5Q2VGUM2JOAQGHXHGCK5WGGHWQPF2VWKZJG5XLKUL"

  CLIENT_SECRET = "F4OSS11HXEOPZP41WPYYXDSV2NHR2BYZGZWNX44OJ3PEBLZ0"

  V = "20150401"


  def self.find_bar(near, distance, bar_price)
    bar_data = HTTParty.get(BASE_URL, :query =>{:near => near, :client_id => CLIENT_ID, :client_secret => CLIENT_SECRET, :v => V, :section => "drinks", :limit => "200", :radius => distance, :price => bar_price})

    random_bar = bar_data["response"]["groups"][0]["items"].sample

    random_bar
  end


end

WHAT I'VE TRIED

I've tried changing my controllers and routes and backbone forms but to no avail.

QUESTION

There are so many moving parts in backbone and rails I'm not too sure how everything is connecting. I know the problem is somewhere either in my endpoint or my model, but I can't seem to pinpoint the problem
