Question

I have a problem with setting up user routes in a rails application.

In routes.rb I added resources :users.

TestApp::Application.routes.draw do
     resources :users

  root :to => 'xxx#home' 
  match '/about', to: 'xxx#about'
  match '/test', to: 'xxx#test'
  match '/news', to: 'xxx#news'
  match '/signup', to: 'users#new'

end

In users_controller.rb I added:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def new
  end

    def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    end
end

And I have created new show.html.rb file with lines:

<%= @user.name %>, <%= @user.email %>

But when I’m deploying to heroku I get this info, and I can’t see that page.

heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path=/users/1

Is there some solution for this, or I have done something wrong?

Answer 1

Are you sure the user with id=1 exists on heroku ? If so, did you use ?

$ heroku run console

This command brings up the rails console in production environment. In it, did you do something like that?

u = User.create(somehash_with_attrs)
# .. or
u = User.new
# ... 
u.save
u.id # => 1 or 23
# If your are not sure which id your user has try the following
User.first.id

And did you know that yourapp.domain/users/1 points to the user record with id=1 and not the first record in your database.
