how should rails nested resources path look?

I have a resource nested in another:

resource :users do
  resource :posts
end

The official guide says I should have this url:

/users/:id/posts/:id

To show update edit or delete the posts. But in fact I have:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 > app.users_posts_path(1,2)
=> "/users/posts.1?=2"

What's going wrong?

Did you try to see your routes? in you console type:

$ bundle exec rake routes

Usually user_posts_path is the GET request for listing items (are you sure that in your route name user is plural?), so you just need to provide the first parameter that represents your :id, related to users.

You need to be using standard plural routes, not singular, so use resources instead of resource:

resources :users do
  resources :posts
end
