ruby on rails: no routes using edit_path?

I have two different controllers I got from rails generate, and each controller has index, edit, update, destroy, etc...

Now I'm trying to relate these two controllers (lists and ideas). I have this loop in my lists -> show page

<% @list.ideas.each do |idea| %>
  <div>
    <div class="list_idea_desc"><%= idea.description %></div>
    <div><%= link_to 'Show', idea %></div>
    <div><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_idea_path(idea) %></div>
    <div><%= link_to 'Destroy', idea, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></div>
  </div>
<% end %>

I'm trying to get the edit_idea_path to work, but it gives me error

No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"ideas", 
:id=>#<Idea id: nil, name: nil, description: nil, picture: nil, 
created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, list_id: 2>}

Any idea how I can use the two different controllers? Does this give enough information?

Thanks

check your routes.rb file as you are using RESTful routing

and if not help, paste the routes code here

Your Idea instance doesn't have an ID (:id=>#<Idea id: nil...), so the router can't generate a route for it. Make sure your Ideas are saved before attempting to generate yours for them.

Also, not directly related to the problem, but you can just use link_to "Edit", [:edit, idea] to have it infer the route based on the class of idea.
