Ruby on Rails 3 nested routes: wrong action route

Question
I have two models: team and project
routes.rb
resources :teams do
resource :projects
end
And two questions!
1- According to http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html, I expect to get teams/:team_id/projects/:id path. However, this is not the case.
rake routes
team_projects POST /teams/:team_id/projects(.:format) projects#create
new_team_projects GET /teams/:team_id/projects/new(.:format) projects#new
edit_team_projects GET /teams/:team_id/projects/edit(.:format) projects#edit
GET /teams/:team_id/projects(.:format) projects#show
PUT /teams/:team_id/projects(.:format) projects#update
DELETE /teams/:team_id/projects(.:format) projects#destroy
so I had to name route to get it working
match 'teams/:team_id/projects/:id' => 'projects#show', :via => [:get], :as => :show_project
so how can take advantage of rails helper methods instead of naming them?
2- In project show action view, the debugger throws these parameters for me:
action: show
controller: projects
team_id: '1'
which is fine. but when I click on "new_team_projects_path" url, it redirects me to the same view and the debugger throws these parameters:
controller: projects
action: show
team_id: '1'
id: new
It doesn't redirect me to the new action, but it took "new" as an ID! why?
Solution
You need to use
resources :teams do resources :projects end
Note the plural!
resource
produces a singular route without id.won't be relevant anymore with the first fix.
