I've ruby script as part of rails application which is used to copy files from some directory to another inside the server. I am using Dojo as front-end. I've a dojo widget which is displaying a button fine. Now I want to the script to be executed when I click the Dojo button.
Wigdet extract:
<input type="button" data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Button" dojoAttachEvent="_onClick:copyfiles" label="Copy Files"></input>
JavaScript function part of widget:
copyfiles: function() {
window.location = '/files/copy_files'
}
in routes I have:
resources :files do
get :copy_files
and in files_controller I have:
def copy_files
fc = FilesCopier.new
source = '/home/myname/sourcefiles'
dest = '/home/myname/backup'
fc.copy_files(source,dest)
end
But when I clicked the button nothing happens. I've also tried running the code inside a view but nothing happens.
