Question

I have a has_one association between user and setting model. I have also SettingsController with edit and update actions. On front page I have a link to edit settings:

<%= link_to (settings_path(current_user.setting)), do %>
..
<% end %>

This causing ActionController::RoutingError No route matches {:controller=>”settings”, :action=>”edit”} ..when trying to display front page.

I kinda stuck banging my head around why this is happening. Using Devise for user authentication, this current_user should be a global variable.

Here is how routes are defined in routes.rb:

  resources :setting, :only => [:edit, :update]  
  match '/settings/:id' => "settings#edit", :controller => :setting, :as => :settings

Here is what rake routes is returning:

    edit_setting GET    /setting/:id/edit(.:format)                 {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"setting"}
         setting PUT    /setting/:id(.:format)                      {:action=>"update", :controller=>"setting"}
        settings        /settings/:id(.:format)                     {:controller=>"settings", :action=>"edit"}

Another guess is that controller name (SettingsController) should be singular, not plural when using has_one association. For some strange reason Rails is not noticing my controller, even though it is very present.

Help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Ok, firts why are you using your own controller for settings for a user instead of devise ?
that is on edit_user_registration_path

• Your path it’s ok, it has to be in plural because you defined it in the :as parameter

Another comment is , if you are using resources :setting, :only => [:edit, :update]
why are you using the next line ? and that path, I mean, if you declaring it like that, you could use edit_setting_path(id)
