NoMethodError, undefined method `permits_path' for #<#<Class:0xbbb3ed0>:0xbbb34b0> - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm new to ROR. I'm trying to create a page for parking permit application. I encountered this problem
I couldn't find the problem. Or maybe i missed something. Any help is appreciated.
This is my permit_controller.rb
class PermitController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_permit, only: [:show, :destroy]
def index
#permit = Permit.all
end
def new
#permit = Permit.new
end
def create
#permit = Permit.new(user_params)
if #permit.save
redirect_to root_path
else
flash[:success] = "Welcome to your profile!"
end
end
def destroy
end
def show
#permit = Permit.find(params[:id])
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_permit
#permit = Permit.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def permit_params
params.require(:permit).permit(:vehicle_type, :name, :studentid, :department, :carplate, :duration,:permitstart,:permitend)
end
end
This is my permit/new.html.erb
<% provide(:title, 'New Permit') %>
<h1>Permit Application</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= form_for(#permit) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
<%= f.label :"Vehicle Type" %>
<%= f.text_field :vehicle_type, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.label :"Student ID" %>
<%= f.text_field :studentid, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.label :department %>
<%= f.text_field :department, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.label :"Car Plate" %>
<%= f.text_field :carplate, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Confirm", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
This is my route.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :users
resources :permit
get 'permit/destroy'
get 'permit/show'
root 'static_pages#home'
get 'homepage/index'
post 'permit' => 'permit#create'
get 'permitapplication' => 'permit#new'
get 'adminlogin' => 'admin_controller#index'
get 'contact'=> 'static_pages#contact'
get 'about' => 'static_pages#about'
get 'signup' => 'users#new'
get 'help' => 'static_pages#help'
post 'users' => 'users#create'
get 'login' => 'sessions#new' #Page for a new session
post 'login' => 'sessions#create' #Create a new session
delete 'logout'=>'sessions#destroy' #Delete a session

end

Answer 1

Instead resources :permit use resources :permits.

Answer 2

The biggest issue here is you don't have permit/new in your routes.rb file.
As has already been suggested, it might be better for you to leverage rails
with a resources call
in routes.rb
resources :permits
and remove lines
get 'permit/destroy'
get 'permit/show'
etc.

Answer 3

I'll attempt to consolidate our various answers and comments.
To solve your current problem, in config/routes.rb, change resources :permit to resources :permits. This exposes all seven RESTful routes for use in your application. (This also makes obsolete the custom permit routes, unless you're explicitly calling them from within their respective forms.) Information about RESTful routes/resources here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#crud-verbs-and-actions
Why is this valuable?
It's how your application knows to use controller actions in combination with views (and therefore forms). Say you have an edit action in your permits controller and app/views/permits/edit.html.erb has a form. Within this page's edit form, you need only have form_for #permit and Rails does all the rest. It knows you're using this particular route. I recommend you read about routing within Rails.
Please keep in mind Ruby on Rails has been carefully crafted to make things easy for you, the developer.
