How to find the correct path for a link in rails

I got a problem with a link I've tried to make. I want to have a page with an article, and a link to the author page of it. Iv's try 100 differents version but i don't know how to do... Here is my code : 

<a <% link_to " Par : #{@article.author.pseudo}", user_path(User.where(user_id: @author_id) %></a>

or with this path : user_path(Article.find(params[:id]).author_id)

If you know how I can resolve that... Thanks !

Try something like this:

<%= link_to("Par : #{@article.author.pseudo}", @article.author) %>

Don't wrap link_to helper into <a>tag, it is already generated by the helper. where returns the collection, not the instance - that's why your code does not work. You already have needed user instance in @article.author, just use it

<%= link_to "Par : #{@article.author.pseudo}", user_path(@article.author) %>

You should be able to link directly to the author:

<%= link_to "Par : #{@article.author.pseudo}", @article.author %>
