Im not able to get the book result after adding the New Resource

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :stories
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
end

I'm getting the following error on the browser:

Routing Error

No route matches "/stories/new" with {:method=>:get}

Can anyone please help me and tell me what's the issue here, what do I need to do to get past this point.

thanks

Hi rolomite, welcome to the forums,
Did you create a new.html.erb file in the app/views/stories folder (page 159)?

[rolomite]

Hey Mittineague,

I created all the new.html.erb file and I currently have the following content in it:

<&#37; form_for @story do |f| %>
<p>
namebr />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
linkbr />
<%= f.text_field :link %>
</p>
<p>
<%= submit_tag %>
</p>
<% end %>

thanks for the fast reply and help.

And your app\controllers\stories_controller.rb file looks like this?

class StoriesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @story = Story.find(:first, :order => 'RANDOM()')
  end
 
  def new
    @story = Story.new
  end
end

If you

..shovell>ruby script/console
......
>>Story.find(:all)

Do you see something like

=> [#<Story id: 1, name: "My shiny webblog", link: "http://poocs.net
/", created_at: "2008-08-25 21:42:08", updated_at: "2008-08-25 21:51:53">, #<Sto

Hi Mittineague,

My stories_controller_rb looks just how you have listed, ad I also got the result listed for the execution of Story.findall)

I'm still having the same problem

No route matches "/stories/new" with {:method=>:get}

[Mittineague]

Hmmm.

If you do

..shovell>rake routes

you should see output like

troller=>"stories", :action=>"new"}
               edit_story GET    /stories/:id/edit                         {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"edit"}
     formatted_edit_story GET    /stories/:id/edit.:format                 {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"edit"}
                    story GET    /stories/:id                              {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"show"}
          formatted_story GET    /stories/:id.:format                      {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"show"}
                          PUT    /stories/:id                              {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"update"}
                          PUT    /stories/:id.:format                      {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"update"}
                          DELETE /stories/:id                              {:co
troller=>"stories", :action=>"destroy"}
                          DELETE /stories/:id.:format                      {:con
troller=>"stories", :action=>"destroy"}

Please post your results (use the [CODE] bbtags or disable smilies, please).

Hey I could see all the above. But still I am facing the same error.

--------------------------------------------------
No route matches "/story" with {:method=>:get}
---------------------------------------------------

[bush34]

Well it's not /story it's /stories if you wanna trigger index action

[Mittineague]

Yes, If I startup the script/server at point my browser to
http://localhost:3000/story
I get
Routing Error
No route matches "/story" with {:method=>:get}

http://localhost:3000/stories
should work OK no? And
http://localhost:3000/stories/new
??

[MrCarrot]

If your routes.rb contains:

map.resources :stories

Then, yes, I would expect localhost:3000/story to produce a routing error.

localhost:3000/stories and localhost:3000/stories/new should work though, yes.
