I have a controller named RegistriesController. It contains a single method:
def edit @jolts_registry = JoltsRegistry.new end
This runs, and the associated view is invoked. That stops on line 9:
<%= form_for @jolts_registry do |f| %>
The message is:
undefined method `jolts_registries_path' for #<#<Class:0x184fdd4>:0x1cf7aa0>
What does that mean?

It means you haven't set up a route for it in routes.rb, but you're using one of the route helpers in your view anyway. But have you inspected what this named class is? Is it an instance of your JoltsRegistry model, or maybe nil?

Have you put an entry for jolts_registries in routes.rb? Probably something like resources :jolts_registries
form_for needs the route to generate the form tag.

I have
match '/registries' => 'registries#edit;
It clearly finds the route, otherwise it wouldn't run the edit method in registries_controller.
form_for needs the route to generate the form tag.
Don't understand, which route?

It is not that route that is the problem
form_for needs the route to generate the form tag.

You are trying to create a form for a JoltRegistry, that expects to submit to a jolts_registries_path (as in the error message). The normal way to generate the route would be to use resources :jolts_registries
Have a look at the Rails Guide on Routing if you don't know what that does.

I've done that. Same message. I've tried several different permutations of methods, etc. Always the exact same message. I have no clue in the world what in the hell it wants me to do. I have no clue where it gets "jolts_registries" from in the first place.
In your first post you had @jolts_registry = JoltsRegistry.new so @jolts_registry is of JoltsRegistry and hence the route it is looking for.
Did you restart the server after changing routes.rb? That is one of the few times it is necessary to restart it. If it is still not working post your routes.rb file, the output from rake routes and copy and paste the error message and the section of code it relates to.
Did you read and understand the guide on routing?

Changing the form tag from
<%= form_for @registry do |f| %>
to
<%= form_for @registry, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
fixed it.

Changing the form tag from
<%= form_for @registry do |f| %>
It was not that in the first place, according to your post it was <%= form_for @jolts_registry do |f| %>
Colin
ah..Right. I tried a good many things, kept getting the exact same error until putting the "action" phrase in. yes I looked at the routing doc. Didn't see anything to help. Still don't get it.
It would be more helpful for the people if you post your routes.rb here.
