Uninitialized constant problem for Rails routes

Question

Here's my route configuration:

map.resources :services do |services|
  services.resources :capabilities do |capabilities|
    capabilities.resources :http_headers
  end
end

Here's my "rake routes" output:

laran:trunk laran$ rake routes

When I go to /services/new though, I get this error:

NameError in ServicesController#new

uninitialized constant ServicesController::Services

What gives? How can I get things working and routed correctly? Thanks.

Answer 1

Is ServicesController backed up by a model Service? Did you accidentally reference it as Services in your controller?

Answer 2

This probably doesn't have anything to do with your routes; your new method in ServicesController is trying to use a (class? constant? object?) named Services that doesn't exist.
