Routing Resources Doesn't Set up Routing Properly

Question

Normally I would expect resources to set the routes where

/groups/:id

However, when I call rake routes I get

GET    /groups(.:format) groups#show

Also, whenever I use the view helper method groups_path(group.id) it provides the url link as

/groups.1

Finally in my routing file

resource :groups

This is the case for edit, update, and destroy actions as well. Finally, it doesn't produce an index action. I have to create that after I write the resources method. What's wrong and how do I fix this?

Answer 1

resources :groups

instead of

resource :groups

Answer 2

Pluralize that resource:

resources :groups
