Routing Error No route matches "/employee/list" with {:method=>:get}

Rails

hi,

I am very frustrated by this error when I just put together a very
simple project from one of the textbook on RoR:
Routing Error
No route matches “/employee/list” with {:method=>:get}

For your reference,

#The following is EmployeesController.rb

class EmployeesController < ApplicationController
scaffold :employee # create scaffold code for controller

override scaffold list method

def list
@employees = Employee.find( :all ) # return an array of all
Employees
end # method list
end # class EmployeeController

The following is Employee.rb

class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base
end

And the following is list.rhtml,

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> List of Employees

List of Employees

    <% for employee in @employees %>
  1. <%= employee.first_name %> <%= employee.last_name %>
    2. <% end %>

PLEASE HELP!!!

if your controller is employees then (in the absence of any extra
routes being defined) the url you should be hitting is /employees/list

Yes that fixes it, but only if I comment out the line

 scaffold :employee  # create scaffold code for controller

in EmployeesController.rb. If I keep that line there, I still have
trouble when hitting /employees/new etc.

I think I need help with the way how “scaffold” works. Thanks!

That macro was removed from recent versions of Rails. It sounds like
your book is rather out of date unfortunately.

You can still generate scaffolding like so (from the command line):

script/generate scaffold employees

That will give you the controller, model, and test files rather than
generating most of the code at runtime like the scaffold method did
before.
