Why I got an error if I named my controller as "leaves" in Ruby on Rails

Question

The scaffold command is the following

ruby script\generate scaffold Leave employee_id:integer leave_type_id:integer date:date

I know I could change the name but I just wonder why it always throws undifined new_leave_path

Glad to know your brilliant thoughts.

Below is the full details of the error:

---

NameError in Leaves#index

Showing app/views/leaves/index.html.erb where line #26 raised:

undefined local variable or method `new_leave_path' for #<ActionView::Base:0x620ea70>

Extracted source (around line #26):

23: 
24: <br />
25: 
26: <%= link_to 'New leave', new_leave_path %>

Application trace:

app/views/leaves/index.html.erb:26
app/controllers/leaves_controller.rb:7:in `index'

Answer 1

@insic Hi

It is just working fine on my machine. may be there are some conflicts with any gem or plugin that you might be using. Can't explicitly find out what is the exact reason, as I am a newbie to rails.

Answer 2

Add

#routes.rb
map.resources :leaves

Answer 3

rake routes

new_leafe_path

or

map.resources :leaves, :singular => :leave

)
