Question

I have a cucumber step

When /^I go to the Add Suggestions form$/ do
  visit new_manage_suggestions_path
end

and a route

namespace "manage" do
  resource :suggestions
end

rake routes outputs

manage_suggestions POST /manage suggestions(.:format) manage/suggestions#create

When I run cucumber I get

undefined method `suggestions_path' for #<#<Class:0x000000064a4768>:0x000000064accd8> (ActionView::Template::Error)

Why is cucumber trying that path?

The new_manage_suggestions_path works fine in my app, I have a link that uses it and that is working fine.

Answer 1

In your routes definition, in order to have your app generate the correct routes, you need to switch from the singular resource to plural resources since you could potentially have multiple suggestions.

namespace "manage" do
  resources :suggestions
end

More details can be found in the Rails documentation on singular resources, where you can see that the singular version does not include the namespace in its path names.
