I’m having an issue with resource routing after running a “ruby script/generate scaffold equipment” command. I did not make any changes to the equipment model/controller/views after running this. The full command I ran (all one line) … ruby script/generate scaffold equipment name:string description:text contact:text keywords:string created\_at:datetime created\_by:integer updated\_at:datetime updated\_by:integer IN config/routes.rb I have the following placed above the default routes … map.resources :equipment – The following routes work (I added ID#1 directly into the database) … /equipment /equipment/1 /equipment/1/edit The following route fails … /equipment/new – When going to /equipment/new … ActionController::RoutingError in Equipment#new Showing equipment/new.html.erb where line #5 raised: equipment\_url failed to generate from {:controller=\>“equipment”, :action=\>“show”} - you may have ambiguous routes, or you may need to supply additional parameters for this route. content\_url has the following required parameters: [“equipment”, :id] - are they all satisfied? Extracted source (around line #5): 2: 3: \<%= error\_messages\_for :equipment %\> 4: 5: \<% form\_for(@equipment) do |f| %\> 6: 7: **Name** 8: \<%= f.text\_field :name %\> – I’ve tried adding the following to inflections.rb (one at a time, not simultaneously) even though I think ‘equipment’ is already in the standard rails inflections code, and nothing changed … Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.uncountable %w( equipment ) end Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.irregular ‘equipment’, ‘equipment’ end – I also tried changing routes.rb to the following, which caused equipment/new to work but the other three routes to fail … map.resources :equipment, :singular =\> :equipment\_instance – Any ideas on what could be happening? THANKS! - Dave ---

Instead of “equipment”, the plain GET route is shown as “equipment\_index”.

Nevermind, it has to be ‘equipment\_index’ because the plain ‘equipment’ is being used by the ‘show’ action. And now my first lesson in named resource routes is complete 🙂 ---

David, I am having the same issue. Do you mind providing the code you used to fix this issue? Thanks, John On 29 May 2008, 15:50, David P. \
