Routing Error uninitialized constant TowcompaniesController

[Charles Hoff]

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 !

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?

[Walter Lee Davis]

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

Can you post the contents from the controller in question?

[Charles Hoff]

class TowCompaniesController < ApplicationController
def index
end


end

[Johnny Hu]

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?

[Johnny Hu]

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

[Charles Hoff]

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.

[Charles Hoff]

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).
