Rails - undefined method error

Question

I have the following models:

Listing has_many Courses which has_many Course_items

In a partial I am trying to create a form to create a Course_item.

In rake routes the route I am trying to use is listed as "/listings/:listing_id/courses/:id/course_item(.:format)"

However in trying to POST to this route I am getting the following error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error

NoMethodError in Courses#show
Showing /Users/Jack_R/code/rails/planet_study/app/views/course_item/_new.html.erb where line #3 raised:

undefined method `listing_course_items_path' for #<#<Class:0x007ff8616081f8>:0x007ff866d3ba88>

The form is in the following partial:

<%= form_for ([@listing, @course.course_items.new]) do |f| %>
<ul>
<li><%= f.text_field :name %></li>
<li><%= f.date_field :start_date %></li>
<li><%= f.date_field :finish_date %></li>
</ul>
<% end %>

Answer 1

You should use <%= form_for ([@listing, @course, @course.course_items.new]) in the view
