How to solve broken routes? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm working in a project that has a user to user friendship feature.
I don't know what is happening with my routes, but this is my output in html:
/friends.Friends -> this was supposed to be a link "friends", but when I click on it nothing happens
and
/friend_requests.Friend%20requests -> it was also supposed to be a link "friend_requests"
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root "events#index"
devise_for :users
devise_scope :user do
get "login", :to => "devise/sessions#new"
get "logout", :to => "devise/sessions#destroy"
get "signup", :to => "devise/registrations#new"
end
resources :users, :only => [ :index, :show ]
resources :friendships, :only => [:create, :update, :destroy]
get '/friend_requests', to: 'friend_requests#index'
get '/friends', to: 'friends#index'
resources :events
end
and this is what i did in my view:
<%= link_to friends_path "Friends" %>
<br>
<%= link_to friend_requests_path "Friend requests" %>
This is the output of bundle exec rake routes

When I acces by typing localhost:300/friends or localhost:300/friend_requests it works
but when I try to use link to, it's broken :/

Answer 1

The order of your arguments is not correct.
From the Docs
link_to(name = nil, options = nil, html_options = nil, &block) public
Creates an anchor element of the given name using a URL created by the set of options. See the valid options in the documentation for url_for. It’s also possible to pass a String instead of an options hash, which generates an anchor element that uses the value of the String as the href for the link. Using a :back Symbol instead of an options hash will generate a link to the referrer (a JavaScript back link will be used in place of a referrer if none exists). If nil is passed as the name the value of the link itself will become the name.
The name should be passed as first argument but you are passing it as second.
Try to swap the arguments like this:
<%= link_to "Friends" ,friends_path %>
<br>
<%= link_to "Friend requests", friend_requests_path %>

Answer 2

Your link_to helper in the view is not ok,
link_to(name = nil, options = nil, html_options = nil, &block)
<%= link_to "Friends", friends_path %>
<br>
<%= link_to "Friend requests", friend_requests_path %>
