Hi, Im really new to rails and I am getting the error in the subject. I have followed the steps in a tutorial and I still get this error, not really sure why.

My routes file is:

Rails.application.routes.draw do   resources :towcompanies   root 'towcompanies#index' end

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks !

My routes file is:

Rails.application.routes.draw do resources :towcompanies root 'towcompanies#index'

make this read:

root to: 'tow companies#index'

and then it will work.

Appreciate your help,

root to: 'towcompanies#index'

(Still generates the same error)

root to: 'tow companies#index'

('tow companies' is not a supported controller name. )

Anything else I could be missing?

Sorry, autocorrect fail. The thing missing in yours was the to: key, not the value. Just add the to: part to what you had.

Did that, still get the same error.

Can you post the contents from the controller in question?

7

class TowCompaniesController < ApplicationController   def index   end

end

This might not affect anything but can you see if the error happens if you remove "resources :towcompanies", or reorder so the line with the root is first?

9

Secondarily, did you have a web server running already? If so, maybe try restarting it?

10

Tried restarting it, same thing, also tried the two things you mentioned and get the same result. No idea why.

I posted the controller above like you requested, does it matter that the actual controller file name is "tow_companies_controller.rb"? NOt sure if the underscores affect anything.....

Any other ideas???

I appreciate your help!

Yes, you have to have tow_companies, not towcompanies in the resources: line.

Read up on how Rails ties everything together with CamelCasing -> snake_casing conventions.

Thats what it was, had to change both resources and root to read "tow_companies".

Appreciate your help and help, thanks guys!

I felt this one covered alot of important things, Im using it as a baseline to build out something custom that I am doing (or at least trying).
