undefined local variable or method `your_questions_path' - ruby-on-rails

Question

I receive an error saying that it has an
undefined local variable or method 'your_questions_path'
My routes.rb file:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get "/" => "main_app#index"
get "/location" => "location#location"
post "/location/index" => "location#index"
get "/location/index" => "location#index"
get "/location/directions" => "location#directions"
root to: 'questions#index'
resources :questions do
collection do
get :your_questions
end
end
get '/logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: :delete
resources :users, only: [:new, :create]
resources :sessions, only: [:new, :create]
resources :questions, except: [:new] do
resources :answers, only: [:create]
end
get '/register', to: 'users#new'
get '/login', to: 'sessions#new'
get '/logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: :delete
# get '/questions/your_questions', to: 'questions#your_questions' original
get '/questions/:id', to: 'questions#show'
get 'search', to: 'controller#action', as: :search
My view file with the questions path a.k.a app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>
<%= link_to 'Home', root_path %>
</li>
<% if logged_in? %>
<li>
<%= link_to "Your Q's", your_questions_path %>
</li>
<li>
<%= link_to "Logout (#{current_user.username})", logout_path, method: 'get' %>
</li>
<% else %>
<li>
<%= link_to 'Register', register_path %>
</li>
<li>
<%= link_to 'Login', login_path %>
</li>
I want the questions path to go to http://localhost:3000/questions/1
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

The routes you've defined create the following routes:
your_questions_questions GET /questions/your_questions(.:format) questions#your_questions
questions GET /questions(.:format) questions#index
POST /questions(.:format) questions#create
new_question GET /questions/new(.:format) questions#new
edit_question GET /questions/:id/edit(.:format) questions#edit
question GET /questions/:id(.:format) questions#show
PATCH /questions/:id(.:format) questions#update
PUT /questions/:id(.:format) questions#update
DELETE /questions/:id(.:format) questions#destroy
The top route is the your_questions route, which means you want use:
your_questions_questions_path

Answer 2

this is happening because you have nested your path inside of a resources block, ie. you have this:
resources :questions do
collection do
get :your_questions
end
end
if you were to get to this path, (run rake routes) you would need to use questions_your_questions_path, however since you want to route to something like http://localhost:3000/quesitons/1 this is a simple 'show' path that is provided to you by the resources command, instead change your routes file to simply say:
resources :questions
and then use question_path(#question) where #question is an instance variable set in the controller.
However... also looking from your code, you seem to be wanting the questions_path instead since that would provide the index action (a listing of questions). You can then in your controller scope the collection of questions to the ones the current user sees...
ie.
QuestionsController < ApplicationController
def index
#questions = current_user.questions
end
(assuming your User has_many :questions)
