Rails create mapping to wrong route

I have a Rails form to create a profile for a store. Initially, I had handled the routing thusly resources :stores and all was well. However, I wanted to divide my resources for stores between an admin scope and a 'public' scope. Once I did this, the form submission stopped working, passing me the error 'No route matches [POST] "/admin/stores"'. I'm not clear on why this is happening, since I thought I divided my resources appropriately...

scope "/admin" do
    resources :stores, only: [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy]
end

resources :stores, only: [:new, :create]

Here are the controller actions...

def new
    @store = current_user.stores.new
    @store.build_address
    @storeType = StoreType.all
end

def create
    @store = current_user.stores.new(store_params)

    if @store.save
        flash[:notice] = "New store created"
        redirect_to root_path
    else
        #ERROR STUFF
    end
end

One thing that I noticed in the Rails route info is that the POST action for create gets lumped into the store_path with all of the other /admin prefixed resources

stores_path 
   GET  /admin/stores(.:format) stores#index
edit_store_path 
   GET  /admin/stores/:id/edit(.:format)    stores#edit
store_path
   PATCH    /admin/stores/:id(.:format) stores#update
   PUT  /admin/stores/:id(.:format) stores#update
   DELETE   /admin/stores/:id(.:format) stores#destroy
   POST /stores(.:format)   stores#create
new_store_path
   GET  /stores/new(.:format)   stores#new

I'm not sure I understand why this is happening, any help would be greatly appreciated. Why is the form trying to post to an admin route when I put the :new and :create actions in the 'public' route?

Thank you very much.

POST is routed to the create action, you specifically stated which actions you wanted leaving out the create action on the resources call

change it to this and it should work

scope "/admin" do
    resources :stores, only: [:index, :create, :edit, :update, :destroy]
end

If you want to use a route outside your current namespace (admin) you need to pass the url: store_path option to the form helper and also specify the method: :post option.
