OK Rick, I did what you said and confirmed that @products is
populated. That error only occurs when I use "admin_products_path". If
I change it to "admin_product_path" no error occurs but the product isn
´t deleted.
I will follow your hint later and try to debug the application to see
what is going wrong. I'll post the results.
Thank you,
