Unknown action No action responded to show

I generated a model User using scaffolding


script/generate scaffold user username:string crypted_password:string email:string active:boolean perishable_token:string persistance_token:string

Then I added a method in UsersController 


def test
end

And then created a view file test.html.erb and I am printing "Hello"

So now I am trying to access localhost:3000/users/test

It throws this error 


Unknown action
No action responded to show. Actions:...

In my routes.rb I am having 


map.resources :users

when I see the development log its taking parameter "test" as "id", where as its an action.

any help?

You need to define the additional action, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#adding-more-restful-actions for more, so change the route to

map.resources :users, :collection => { :test => :get }

A helpful utility to check all routes is rake routes - btw I assume you're using Rails 2.3.x, right?
