Rails: Nested Resources routes not working

Question

I have the following routes defined:

resources :employees do
  resources :questions
  member do
    get :results
  end
end

One of the routes (rake routes) for the above resources prints this:

new_employee_question GET /employees/:employee_id/questions/new(.:format) questions#new

But when I do this = link_to 'New Question', :new_employee_question

I get the following error:

No route matches {:action=>"new", :controller=>"questions"}

I have both QuestionsController & EmployeesController defined with the required action methods.

I also tried the following in rails console:

Rails.application.routes.recognize_path(app.new_employee_question_path)

...which generates the following error:

ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:controller=>"questions"}

I am using Rails 3.2.6. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try using this:

= link_to 'New Question', new_employee_question_path(@employee)
