Routing Error: No Route Matches

I'm getting a routing error even though I believe the action exists in my controller.

routes.rb:

Build::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :users do
     match 'users/:id' => 'users#username'
     get 'validate_username', on: :member
     get 'validate_email', on: :member
  end
end

new.html.erb:

 $("#user_email").on('blur', function(){
    if($(this).val()!=""){
        user_email = $(this).val();
        $.ajax({
            url:"<%=validate_email_user_path%>",
            type:'GET',
            data: {email: user_email},
            success: function(data,status,xhr){
                console.log(data);
                alert(data.message);
        });

rake routes:

  validate_email_user GET    /users/:id/validate_email(.:format)                         users#validate_email

What am I doing wrong?

This is not a direct answer to your question, but maybe helpful.

Do you know the client_side_validations gem? I think you can use it, instead of implement everything by your own. It is available on github.

If you want to pass in just the email and not an existing user, then I would think you need to update your routes.

This:

get 'validate_email', on: :member

Should be

get 'validate_email/:email', on: :collection

Within the users 'collection', you do not need to pass a user/user id into the _path helper. The actual URL for your route would be /users/validate_email instead of /users/:id/validate_email

The :email part of the route would make params[:email] available in your controller method.
