that error occurs when you did not specified respective routes in routes.rb file so just add
resources :messages

or if you want explicit route for some certain method add that in route file

Do you have a resources :messages route in config/routes.rb? The error is happening when Rails tries to create the form's submission route from the class of the argument to form_for
