Routing Error No route matches [GET] "/statuses" Treehouse

Question

I have been doing the Treehouse exercise on building a Rails app to do status updates. I was able to go to 0.0.0.0:3000 but I am still unable to go to 0.0.0.0:3000/statuses. The following is my Terminal output:

Started GET "/statuses" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-04-22 02:32:07 -0700

When I go to 0.0.0.0:3000/statuses, my browser says:

0.0.0.0:3000/stauses:

Routing Error

No route matches [GET] "/statuses" Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.

** I tried running rake routes and tried rake:db migrate and then typing in rails server but none of those worked. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Add this to your routes.rb in the config folder.

resources :statuses

and make sure you have a controller named statuses_controller.rb and a view at views/statuses/index.html.erb

Answer 2

Add the following entry in the routes.rb file:

{ get "statuses" => 'statuses#index'}

This will work if you have statuses-controller.rb in app/controller folder and index.html.erb file in the app/views/statuses folder.
