NoMethodError when rendering a form Rails

routes.rb:

resources :shops

shop_controller.rb:

def new
    @shop=Shop.new
end

new.html.erb:

<%= form_for(@shop) do |f| %>
....
<% end %>

error: undefined method `shops_path' for:

<%= form_for(@shop) do |f| %>

The problem is that I already specify the shop resources in the routes file. Why still get such kind of error?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Make sure you have these lines in your rake routes output:

   shops GET    /shops(.:format   {:action=>"index", :controller=>"shops"}
         POST   /shops(.:format)  {:action=>"create", :controller=>"shops"}

OR

   shops POST   /shops(.:format)   {:action=>"create", :controller=>"shops"}

If they aren't present, look carefully at your routes.rb for possible with_options, scope or any other scoping that can affect your resources :shops in such a way that it doesn't generate default url helpers.

since u havent specified the method in the form tag, i guess it is going as a GET request. Try adding the method to ur form

<%= form_for(@shop), :method => :post do |f| %>

You should use ShopsController not ShopController due to Rails naming convention.
