Rails nested resources with strange path?

Question

I have a typical artist has_many songs model and I'm trying to set up the nested resource in Rails.

My routes.rb looks like this:

map.resources :artists do |artist|
   map.resources :songs
end

This works fine for the artist paths, but when I want to link to the songs controller, like this:

<%= link_to artist.name, artist_songs_path(artist) %>

my links look like this:

/songs.<artist:0x22b77ec>

Where it should probably look like /artist/5/songs

I'm sure it's something stupid I've missed, but I don't see it. Ideas?

Answer 1

Ummm.... I think you should change map.resources :songs to artist.resources :songs...

Yes. leave the answer around. Maybe retag it with rails routes mistakes...
