Weird "Unknown action" error

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi,

When I visit this URL in my app, http://mydomain.com/admin/user/search, I get

Unknown action No action responded to user

I am confused by this because I have these files

app/controllers/admin_controller.rb app/controllers/admin/user_controller.rb app/views/admin/user/search.rhtml

Here is the code for the controllers

=====================Begin admin_controller.rb=================== class AdminController < ApplicationController         before_filter :subscriber_login_required # defined in application.rb end =====================End admin_controller.rb ====================

=====================Begin user_controller.rb==================== class Admin::UserController < ApplicationController

        def search         end

        def searchresults                 @users = User.search(params)         end

        def userdetails         end end =====================End user_controller.rb=====================

Your help is always appreciated, - Dave

If it helps, here's my config/routes.rb file: ====================Begin routes.rb file========================= ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

  map.connect '', :controller => "register", :action => "start"

  map.resources :users   map.resources :sessions   map.signup '/signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'   map.login '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'   map.logout '/logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy'

  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.

  # Sample of regular route:   # map.connect 'products/:id', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'view'   # Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action

  # Sample of named route:   # map.purchase 'products/:id/purchase', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'purchase'   # This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)

  # You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up ''   # -- just remember to delete public/index.html.   # map.connect '', :controller => "welcome"

  # Allow downloading Web Service WSDL as a file with an extension   # instead of a file named 'wsdl'   map.connect ':controller/service.wsdl', :action => 'wsdl'

  # Install the default route as the lowest priority.   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' end =====================End routes.rb file=============================

Dave,

For the structure you're showing I believe that you want to use the new 'namespace' option for route mapping:

map.namespace :admin do |adm|   adm.resources :users end

Here's the online API for ref: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Routing/RouteSet/Mapper.html#M000351
