Question

I inherited an old Rails app and I’m really struggling with this error:

ActionController::RoutingError 
    (No route matches {:controller=>"users", :action=>"profile"}):
app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:59:in
    `_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb__105<snip>'
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:40:in `index'

I ONLY get this error when I log in as admin, not as any other user.

Here is my routes.rb

Vvault::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :orders

  devise_for :users

  resources :videos

  resources :users

  root :to => "users#index"

  match 'users/:id/profile' => 'users#profile', :as => :user_profile
end

I think this is the relevant snippet from users_controller.rb:

def index
  if current_user.admin?
    # admin sees all users
    @users = User.all

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @users }
    end
  else
    redirect_to "/users/" + current_user.id.to_s() and return
  end
end

I think this is the relevant snippet from application_html.erb:

<div class="sidebar">
    <% if user_signed_in? %>
      <%= link_to "My account", user_profile_path, :method => :get %>
    <% end %>
 </div>     

If i comment out the third line of application_html.erb I can login as admin, but obviously the profile link does not render for any user.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Try:

<%= link_to "My account", user_profile_path(current_user.id), :method => :get %>
