Problems with routing and path

Question

Hello,

I am new to rails and I have a weird problem i don't understand...

I have created a basic application with only one controller. this controller is name routes (for testing purpose...) and it contains index, new and edit actions.

I have added a resource in the routes.rb file: map.resources :routes

The problem I have is when i try to make a link to an action like link_to edit_route_path(some id) I get the error undefined local variable or method `path' for #ActionController::Routing::RouteSet:0x101f4d088>

When I use routes_path directly, it works fine.

Thanks for your help!

output of rake routes:

routes GET /routes(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"index"}
POST /routes(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"create"}
new_route GET /routes/new(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"new"}
edit_route GET /routes/:id/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"edit"}
route GET /routes/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"show"}
PUT /routes/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"update"}
DELETE /routes/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"routes", :action=>"destroy"}
/:controller/:action/:id
/:controller/:action/:id(.:format)

this is the error I have:

undefined local variable or method `path' for #ActionController::Routing::RouteSet:0x101f4d128>

and the stack trace:

ruby version is 1.8.7 gem version is 1.3.7 rails version is 2.3.8

I tried the basic posts scaffold from the rails getting started user guide and i have the same error when I am in the new page or edit page...

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :routes
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
end

The weird thing is that everything was working fine last week and I don't know what i have changed...

Thank you very much!!!

Go to terimnal and type

rake routes

It will show you all possible routes define in your routes.rb file. Then check edit_route_path is there or not
