Question : Link_to problem with inserting new row into table. Ruby on Rails.

I have created a simple rails application using RadRails on Aptana studio.

I created two tables as described below:

business id:integer name:string address:string post_code:integer phone:integer email:string maximum:float locationID:integer

locations id:integer location:string

I migrate the tables and this completes successfully. I start the server (either mongrel or webrick) and then load the web browser.

when i go to the pages either http://localhost:3000/locations or http://localhost:3000/businesses i receive the error below. The only difference between teh two pages is that locations is changed to businesses.

Showing locations/index.html.erb where line #22 raised:

undefined local variable or method `new_locations_path' for #d8>

19:
20:

21:
22: <%= link_to 'New locations', new_locations_path %>

I have not changed any code so this should not have stopped working. I have created other apps that have worked fine from the word go.

First, your business table should have a location_id field, not locationID.

Second, did you put the resources into the routes table?  I'd guess not, since that's what adds the URL helpers like "new_locations_path".  Typically, though, it'd be singular: "new_location_path" or "new_business_path"

How'd you generate these: as a scaffold or as individual models?

What version of Rails are you on?
