  Have you defined the routes for category in config/routes.rb

Sijo

i have defined the routes.rb file as

map.root :controller => “site”, :action => “home”
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’
map.resources :categories, :controller => “categories”,:action =>
“create”

or i have tried it as in another way

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :categories
end
map.root :controller => “site”, :action => “home”
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

when i try either of this now…i m not getting a undefined category_path
anymore…but now i m getting a different error…

Error:
test_should_create_category(CategoriesControllerTest):

                   /

Hi Sanjana

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :categories
end
map.root :controller => “site”, :action => “home”
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

It is

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.root :controller => “site”, :action => “home”
map.resources :categories
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’
end

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

This can be avoided if you define all ypur routes in routes.r properly

ActionController::RoutingError: category_url failed to generate from
{:action=>“show”, :controller=>“categories”, :id=>nil}, expected:
{:action=>“show”, :controller=>“categories”}, diff: {:id=>nil}

This shows the show action does not getting the id..From your first

post, is
assigns(:category) has value?
