Hi!

I try to do nested route with collection, but I always have mistake route: resources :user do &nbsp;&nbsp;resources :todo do

&nbsp;&nbsp;member do &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;post :complete &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;collection do &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;get :completed &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;resources :post &nbsp;&nbsp;end end

View: \<%= link\_to\_if (params[:action] == 'home'), 'Done', comoleted\_user\_todo\_path %\>

Browser back me mistake undefined local variable or method `long\_product\_category\_path' for #\<#\<class:0x1036ed8c8\>:0x1036e92a0 \</class:0x1036ed8c8\>

Could you help

if you run rake routes it will tell you the names of all your routes

Like Fred said, typo. There is no comoleted\_user\_todo\_path but there is a completed\_user\_todo\_path.

it’s a bit weird but your routes look like [http://pastie.org/1793800](http://pastie.org/1793800) so use

```ruby
completed_user_todo_index_path
```
