problem with uninitialized constant

Question

Hi, I have the following controller

class ActiveUsersController < ApplicationController

def edit
end

end

And my routes.rb is like this:

map.resources :active_users

When I try to access the controller using the url http://localhost:3000/active_users/COo8e45RqQAHr6CqSCoI/edit I got the following error:

NameError in Active usersController#edit

uninitialized constant ActiveUsersController

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

resources refers to the model and an assumed correlate controller named similarly. Do you have an ActiveUser model class? Or is it something else, say User? E.g.:

map.resources users, :controller => "active_users"

Check out the API docs: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html
