I have a routing error with a nested resource. Here is my nested routing:
resources :users do
resources :pages
end
This is my minitest "visit new user page" system test:
test "visit new user page path" do
user = User.create
visit new_user_page_path(user)
assert_selector "h1", text: "Page"
end
This fails with the following error:
Error:
PagesTest#test_visit_new_user_page_path:
ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `pages_path' for #<#<Class:0x00007fa0299dfa28>:0x00007fa02aa23df8>
Did you mean? image_path
app/views/pages/_form.html.erb:1:in `_app_views_pages__form_html_erb__3658586168370814469_70162960780560'
app/views/pages/new.html.erb:3:in `_app_views_pages_new_html_erb__3548077654233884011_70162934875400'
I realize that pages_path is not a correct path for this nested resource. The correct path to pages#new is new_user_page_path(@user) (which is the path that took me to new.html.erb). The correct path to pages#create is a POST to user_pages_path(@user) (which is the page that new.html.erb should POST to). But I cannot find anywhere that pages_path is being called. The error says that it is being called in new.html.erb and also _form.html.erb. Here are those pages. First, new.html.erb:
<h1>New Page</h1>
<%= render 'form', page: @page %>
<%= link_to 'Back', user_pages_path(@page) %>
And _form.html.erb:
<%= form_with(model: page, local: true) do |form| %>
<% if page.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(page.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this page from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% page.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :title %>
<%= form.text_field :title, id: :page_title %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :content %>
<%= form.text_area :content, id: :page_content %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= form.label :user_id %>
<%= form.text_field :user_id, id: :page_user_id %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= form.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
I don't know where pages_path is being called, so I can't fix that error. Any help is appreciated.
You need to change your form code, page_path is called from it. Should be
<%= form_with(model: [ @user, @page ]) do |form| %>
In this case the route will be set correctly.
