In my routes.rb, I have:

map.resources :users, :member =\>  
{:edit\_business\_card =\> :get,  
:update\_business\_card =\> :put }

In a view, I can say

\<%= update\_business\_card\_url %\>

And from my browser, I can post to  
[http://localhost:3000/users/update\_business\_card](http://localhost:3000/users/update_business_card).

But not from script/console:

> > app.update\_business\_card\_user\_url

ActionController::RoutingError: update\_business\_card\_user\_url failed to  
generate from {:controller=\>“users”, :action=\>“update\_business\_card”} -  
you may have ambiguous routes, or you may need to supply additional  
parameters for this route. content\_url has the following required  
parameters: [“users”, :id, “update\_business\_card”] - are they all  
satisfied?

I don’t actually care about doing this from console, but rspec has the  
same  
difficulty resolving the route. I’m stumped - url\_for is getting the  
same  
parameters in each case.
