Your form is submitting to the csv_import action. Your controller defines a csv_import= method. Not sure what else is in your controller or what that csv_import= method is for, but you need a csv_import method in your controller that can process the request.

Something like this perhaps:

def csv_import

  num_imported = 0
  num_failed = 0

  CSV.foreach(params[:file].tempfile) do |row|
    c = CsvImport.new(
      cart_items: row[1],
      cart_items_quantity: row[2],
      cart_items_price: row[3],
      cart_items_description: row[4],
      cart_items_upc: row[5],
      cart_items_sku: row[6]
    )
    if c.save
      num_imported += 1
    else
      num_failed += 1
    end
  end

  flash.now[:message] = "CSV Import Successful, #{num_imported} new records added to data base. #{num_failed} failed to import."
end
