How to use an action function inside a pathless routes?

[rodolphoasb]

I have this structure:

_db It's a dashboard layout that has a signout button. When I click on the signout button, I always get:

405 Method Not Allowed.
Route "routes/_db.home._index" does not have an action, but you are trying to submit to it. To fix this, please add an action function to the route

But this form action is inside the _db folder. Why this doesn't work?

did you get it working?

Pathless layouts can't have an action. Remix only POSTs to a single route, unlike loaders. Since pathless layouts are not part of the URL, Remix doesn't know which route to dispatch to.

I would recommend just creating a signout.tsx route, then for your sign out button, set <Form action="/signout" method="post">

Thanks for that insight, I had the exact same issue as the OP and didn't know pathless layouts were disregarded when resolving actions.
