Getting ActionController::RoutingError uninitialized constant while trying to use namespace in Rails routes

I have two controllers dashboard and posts. Im trying to put the post's :new, :create, :destroy, :edit, :update actions within dashboard url like this dashboard/posts/new. But the im talking to the new action in the posts controller. Not in the dash controller. Here's my routes.rb file :

resources :posts, :except => [:new, :create, :destroy, :edit, :update]

get 'dashboard', to: 'dash#show'

namespace :dashboard do
   resources :posts, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy, :edit, :update]
end
get 'dashboard/posts', to: 'dash#posts'

The two controllers in question are : dash and posts

Now when I try to visit http://localhost:3000/dashboard/posts/new it says :

ActionController::RoutingError at /dashboard/posts/new
uninitialized constant Dashboard

How to fix this?

Assuming that you have two controllers DashController and PostsController. And you want to access few of the posts routes within the scope of namespace then you can define the routes as below:

resources :posts, :only => [:index, :show]

get 'dashboard', to: 'dash#show'

scope :dashboard do
   resources :posts, controller: :posts ,:only => [:new, :create, :destroy, :edit, :update]
end
get 'dashboard/posts', to: 'dash#posts'

The constant "Dashboard" can't be found. I think the problem is that you sometimes use dash and sometimes use dashboard.
