When I make a new scaffold I get a problem with routes. When adding a  
Leave table in the db using scaffold and migrate, and entering the index  
page I get “undefined local variable or method `new\_leave\_path’”. Same  
problem with another table, but ok with yet another. What could be  
wrong?

go to your route.rb and add this :

map.resources :name\_tables

example:  
map.resources :galleries

Then restart your server not your PC 😃

It’s already there, from the scaffold. Hmm. I have a feeling that it’s a  
problem with Rails.

Might be what I do that is the problem. I added, edited and deleted  
tables from the db directly. Now I when I try a new scaffold with a test  
table it doesn’t get created.

I like scaffold to the the things up an running fast, but I don’t really  
use migrations as I find it faster to do it the old way editing the  
tables directly with CococaMySQL.

I believe the problem is that somehow Rails have an issue with certain  
names, in my case the name Leave and Leaves.
