namespace not only adds a path prefix but it also adds a module nesting to the expected controller. For example:

namespace :blog do
  resources :posts
end

Will create the route /blog/posts => Blog::PostsController#index.

In your example Rails expects the controller to be defined as:

# app/controllers/admin/admin_controller.rb
module Admin
  class AdminController
    # GET /admin
    def index
    end
  end
end

If you just want to add a path prefix or other options to the routes without module nesting use scope instead:

scope :admin, controller: :admin do
  get '/', action: :index
end

This will route /admin to AdminController#index

But if this just a one off route you could just write:

get :admin, to: 'admin#index'

Your controller path needs to be in the admin namespace.

So the filename for the admin controller needs to be app/controllers/admin/admin_controller.rb.
