ruby on rails button_to delete method not working

Question

view:

<%= button_to 'Delete Friend', friendships_path(:friend_id => @user), method: 'delete', :form_class => 'delete_btn', remote: true %>

controller:

def destroy
   @return = 'It works!'
   render :json => ActiveSupport::JSON.encode( @return )
end

when i click the button i get a 404 page not found... how can i make the destroy method work for ajax jquery requests?

EDIT:

routes.rb

resources :friendships, :except => [:new, :edit, :update, :index, :show]

running rake:routes

                 friendships POST   /friendships(.:format)                          friendships#create
                  friendship DELETE /friendships/:id(.:format)                      friendships#destroy

friendships_path doesn't respect REST, what do you have in your routes? — apneadiving

Replace:

friendships_path(:friend_id => @user)

With:

friendship_path(:id => @user)
