Question

I’m working on a very simple project management web app.

I have two different pages where you view the projects.

1. View all projects
2. View only the projects where you are administrator (includes buttons for editing / deletion of the projects)

Because I have two different pages for showing the projects I decided to create a custom route that directs the user to a custom action in the project controller.

However, this doesn’t (by some reason) work, and I get the following error message:

No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"projects"}

the view:

<%= link_to "Manage projects", users_projects_path %>

project controller:

class ProjectsController < ApplicationController
    ...
    def users_projects
      @users_projects = Project.where(:user_id => current_user.id)
    end
...
end

project model:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :users, :class_name => 'User'

  belongs_to :user
  has_many :tickets, :dependent => :destroy

  //validation

  attr_accessible :user_id, :title, :description, :start_date, :end_date
end

Answer 1

The problem is that you are not giving an id parameter to the route, which is required.

Somewhere, you are generating a link to edit_project_path. Ensure that you are giving a project to that url generator: edit_project_path(project)
