Migrate -> it works fine

It generate the files but when i access http://127.0.0.1:3000/categories i have the following error :

NameError in Categories#index
Showing app/views/categories/index.html.erb where line #22 raised:

undefined local variable or method `new_categorie_path’ for #

Extracted source (around line #22):

19:
20:
21:
22: <%= link_to ‘New categorie’, new_categorie_path %>

i deleted recreated my whole rails project a few times, changed categorie with another name but it keep failling. Why ?

Answer 1

Adding to Salil’s answer which is correct, Rails convention is to have english like naming.

If you put

Categorie

in your scaffold Rails will not be able to pluralize it correctly in categories.

You can also try a different path using legacy names and no pluralization but it is a painful path.

I would advice to use english naming.
