Question

I have two controllers: Tasksadmins and Workers.

I defined two roots, but someone told me that there is a problem with it.

can someone tell me what the problem is?

TODOLIST::Application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users

  resources :tasksadmins
  root to: "tasksadmins#index"

  resources :workers
  root to: "workes#index"
end

root doesn’t mean the index action of a controller. Instead, it means essentially the home page: what action gets called when I go to http://www.example.com/?

Therefore, it only makes sense to define one root: right now, you’re pointing http://www.example.com/ to both tasksadmins#index and workers#index, which doesn’t make much sense. Rails will just pick one of them, but that’s probably not the behavior you’re looking for.

I suspect you’re trying to refine your resources routes, but there’s no need: resources :workers already defines the route http://www.example.com/workers pointing to workers#index, so that line should be all you need for the workers.

If, however, you want http://www.example.com/ to point to the same workers listing as http://www.example.com/workers, then root 'workers#index' is exactly right.
