Routing error: no route matches contoller works. Route exists though

Rails
1

I have a fairly straight forward rails app, version 3.2. When I try to
create a Work instance, with deliberately invalid fields from a form, I
get a routing error:

No route matches {:controller=>"works"}

This does not happen when I try the same test with an update on a Work
instance. After an attempted update I get the edit.html.erb page
rendered with the invalid fields highlighted.

I dont understand why after failing the save in the controller and
trying to render “new” it would give me a route matching error. Any
ideas?

Attached are my model, controller and routes.rb

Yes - look at the log for that request :slight_smile:

Hassan,

I don’t see anything in the logs that explains the routing error. The
controller is redirecting the failed save to the “new” view using
render. There shouldn’t be any routing issues here.

Here is the log entry for this action: (sanitized a bit to read)

So the error is on on line 5 of your new.html. What does that line look
like?

So, it was a link in the new.htnl.erb file referencing a list of works
through the associated workticket. I guess I need to reassign the
workticket parameter for the failed save render.
