def helper_method
   "<a href='#{movie_path(user.wants_to_see_movies.first)}'>#{user.wants_to_see_movies.first.title.titleize}</a>".html_safe
end

I'm trying to generate a link from above helper method but instead it's showing up as Wants to see <a href='/movies/2'>Spectre</a> in the view.

  1. First, what am I doing wrong? I thought html_safe would solve this.
  2. Is there a way to do this with a link_to instead?

I'm not certain as to why html_safe isn't working but you should be able to use link_to like

def helper_method
  movie = user.wants_to_see_movies.first
  link_to movie.title.titleize, movie
end
